whereNot

The whereNot method finds all records that do not match the provided clauses.

await User.whereNot({
email: ops.ilike('burpcollaborator.net'),
}).all()

whereNot takes a single condition object; all keys within it are AND'd together and the whole group is negated:

// WHERE NOT (status = 'archived' AND role = 'guest')
query.whereNot({ status: 'archived', role: 'guest' })
tip

Negation also matches rows whose column is NULL.

Chaining​

You can chain multiple whereNot calls together, as well as chain them with other calls to where. This is useful for conditional query building:

let query = Post.whereNot({ name: null })

if (this.params.body) {
query = query.whereNot({ body: null })
}

await query.all()
