How to do a Left Outer join with Laravel?

I need to perform a left outer join between two tables in my database. Can anyone guide me on how to do a left outer join using Laravel’s Eloquent ORM or Query Builder?

To perform a left outer join in Laravel, you can just use leftJoin. Assuming you have two tables, let’s call them left_table and right_table, and you want to perform a left outer join between them:

->leftJoin('right_table', 'left_table.id', '=', 'right_table.left_id')
