Use where condition in Laravel MongoDB along with GeoSpatial whereRaw function

[sharathm89]

I am able to search for records using Geospatial query but how to add a where condition for filtering the records in laravel mongodb.

Below is my code to fetch the records without where condition.

$whereObj = ['loc' => ['$near' => ['$geometry' => 
    ['type' => "Point",'coordinates' => [$data['lng'],$data['lat']]], 
    '$maxDistance' => 8000]]];

$list = Places::whereRaw($whereObj)->get();

I tried adding a query object in the above $whereObj but i don't get any results when its executed.
Below is the code with where condition to filter data.

$whereObj = ['loc' => ['$near' => ['$geometry' => 
        ['type' => "Point",'coordinates' => [$data['lng'],$data['lat']]], 
        '$maxDistance' => 8000]], 'query' => ['status' => 'ACTIVE']];

$list = Places::whereRaw($whereObj)->get();

If I run the below query in mongo shell it works.

db.Places.find(
  {
    loc : {
      $near : {
        $geometry : { 
          type : "Point" , 
          coordinates : [77.612865, 12.970787]  
        }, 
        $maxDistance : 2000
      }
    },
    query : {status : 'ACTIVE'}
  }
);
