title: Laravel MySQL JSON LIKE Query
body: <p>In laravel using eloquent I can use LIKE query like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Model::where('column', 'LIKE', 'a%');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That query the column that starts with letter a. How can I do it in a json column?.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Model::where('meta-&gt;column', 'LIKE', 'a%');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried it but not getting any result where querying it like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Model::where('meta-&gt;column', 'LIKE', '%a%');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns a result where column contains letter a. I only want to query the column where it starts with letter a.</p>
