Laravel/SQL: where column Equals NOT and NULL - sql

Question

LARAVEL 5.4 (but probably it's a more general SQL question)
Hello! I have a table with a structure:
Suppose it's my model 'Table'.
I want a query which:
uses (receives) variables :
$id of array ['id', 'string', integer]
where string is '<' or '>'
$status_not_bad = bool;
(if true - include all rows where 'status' !== 'bad' AND 'status' IS NULL);
for example, we are given:
$id = [['id', '>', 0]];
$status_not_bad = true;
Table::thisquery() ... ->get();
"get rows where status is not bad and id > 0" returns rows 1 and 3.
but if we given:
$id = [['id', '<', 3]];
$status_not_bad = true;
Table::thisquery() ... ->get();
"get rows where status is not bad and id < 3" returns row 1
(it should be same query which return those results using those variables).

Answer 1

Probably you end with something like this:
if ($status_not_bad) {
$nStatus = 'bad';
} else {
$nStatus = 'good';
}
Table::thisquery()->where('status', '<>', $nStatus)
->whereNotNull('status')
->where($id[0], $id[1], $id[2])
->get();
But it would be a good idea to check $id keys first.

Answer 2

Since row id = 3 you need <= in your where statement to have that row included in the result set
$id = ['id', '<=', 3];

Answer 3

So, I this works:
$chain = Sample::when($status_not_bad, function($query){
return $query->where('status', '<>', 'bad')
->orwhereNull('status');
})
->where([$id])
->get();
