Safe where LOWER(name) LIKE '%${search}%'?

I’m trying to build a query for a case insensitive search on the name column. I couldn’t figure out how to do it “safely” with the knex query builder.

Following doesn’t work:

qb.where('LOWER(name)', 'LIKE', `'%${search}%'`)

I could do

qb.whereRaw(`LOWER(name) LIKE '%${search}%'`)

But I have to worry about escaping search.

qb.whereRaw(`LOWER(name) LIKE ?`)

would probably be better but I’m not sure where I can assign ?.

Thanks.

try Ilike instead of like qb.where(‘name’, ‘ILIKE’, '%${search}%')

You can check out the whereRaw documentation in the Knex docs.

qb.whereRaw(`LOWER(name) LIKE ?`, [`%${search}%`])
