laravel query between two dates from two date columns database

Question

I have a database events and it has 2 dates column named date_from which refers to start date and date_to refers to end date. The column event_date is when is the event posted. My question is how can I query this using the eloquent? I tried this code but it returns me an error. Type error: Argument 2 passed to Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder

Query

  $events = Event::where('school_id', '=', Auth::user()->school_id)
                      ->where('status', '=', 1)
                      ->where('active', '=', 1)
                      ->whereRaw("group_id in('$role', '0')")
                      ->whereBetween("date_from", "date_to" )
                      ->limit(2)
                      ->get();

I have tried this and it's working for me a two-column date range with two between dates

  | # | name    | from_date  | to_date    |
  | ----------- | ---------  | ---------- |-
  | 1 | Kishor  | 2021-05-17 | 2021-05-25 |
  | 2 | Martin  | 2021-05-24 | 2021-05-24 |


  select * from TableName  (`date_to` >= $from_date and `date_from` <= $to_date) 

  $query->where(function($query) use ($from, $to){
         $query->where('date_to', '>=', $from)
            ->where('date_from', '<=', $to);
         });

I just solved it by using two whereRaw statements

$now = Carbon::now()->toDateString();

$events = Event::where('school_id', '=', Auth::user()->school_id)
                      ->where('status', '=', 1)
                      ->where('active', '=', 1)
                      ->whereRaw("group_id in('$role', '0')")
                      ->whereRaw("date_from <=  date('$now')")
                      ->whereRaw("date_to >=  date('$now')")
                      ->limit(2)
                      ->get();

Use whereColumn of laravel query builder like this.

$events = Event::where('school_id', '=', Auth::user()->school_id)
                      ->where('status', 1)
                      ->where('active', 1)
                      ->whereRaw("group_id in('$role', '0')")
                       ->whereColumn([ ['date_from', '>=', 'event_date'], ['date_to', '<=', 'event_date'] ]);
                      ->limit(2)
                      ->get();
