find clause in laravel code example

Example 1: laravel find by

// Retrieve a model by its primary key...
$flight = App\Flight::find(1);

// Retrieve the first model matching the query constraints...
$flight = App\Flight::where('active', 1)->first();

// Shorthand for retrieving the first model matching the query constraints...
$flight = App\Flight::firstWhere('active', 1);

Example 2: laravel find query

return Destination::orderByDesc(
    Flight::select('arrived_at')
        ->whereColumn('destination_id', 'destinations.id')
        ->orderBy('arrived_at', 'desc')
        ->limit(1)
)->get();
