Description
This PR proposes adding two small Query Builder helpers:
value()andpluck().They cover a common case where we only need one column, not a full row or result set:
value(): returns the selected column from the first matching row, ornullif nothing matches.pluck(): returns one column as an array, and can optionally use another column as the array key.These methods behave like other terminal Query Builder methods: they use the current builder state, reset it by default, and can keep it when
$resetisfalse. They temporarily select only the requested column or columns, so existingselect()clauses are not used.I also added Model wrappers so soft-delete behavior is preserved when calling these through a model.
Raw SQL expressions are intentionally not accepted as column names. If users need an expression,
select()withget()remains the right tool.Tests cover SQL generation, reset behavior, query failures, live results, keyed pluck results, invalid column input, and Model soft deletes.
