    /**
     * Helper function: builds the most common conditional clauses.
     *
     * This method takes 1 to 3 parameters.
     *
     * If called with 1 parameter, it should be a ConditionInterface that in
     * itself forms a valid where clause. Use e.g. to build clauses with nested
     * AND's and OR's.
     *
     * If called with 2 parameters, they are taken as $field and $value with
     * $operator having a value of =.
     *
     * Do not use this method to test for NULL values. Instead, use
     * QueryConditionInterface::isNull() or QueryConditionInterface::isNotNull().
     *
     * To improve readability, the operators EXISTS and NOT EXISTS have their own
     * utility method defined.
     *
     * Drupal considers LIKE case insensitive and the following is often used
     * to tell the database that case insensitive equivalence is desired:
     * @code
     * \Drupal::database()->select('users')
     *  ->condition('name', $injected_connection->escapeLike($name), 'LIKE')
     * @endcode
     * Use 'LIKE BINARY' instead of 'LIKE' for case sensitive queries.
     *
     * Note: When using MySQL, the exact behavior also depends on the used
     * collation. if the field is set to binary, then a LIKE condition will also
     * be case sensitive and when a case insensitive collation is used, the =
     * operator will also be case insensitive.
     *
     * @param string|\Drupal\Core\Database\Query\ConditionInterface $field
     *   The name of the field to check. This can also be QueryConditionInterface
     *   in itself. Use where(), if you would like to add a more complex condition
     *   involving operators or functions, or an already compiled condition.
     * @param string|array|\Drupal\Core\Database\Query\SelectInterface|null $value
     *   The value to test the field against. In most cases, and depending on the
     *   operator, this will be a scalar or an array. As SQL accepts select
     *   queries on any place where a scalar value or set is expected, $value may
     *   also be a(n array of) SelectInterface(s). If $operator is a unary
     *   operator, e.g. IS NULL, $value will be ignored and should be null. If
     *   the operator requires a subquery, e.g. EXISTS, the $field will be ignored
     *   and $value should be a SelectInterface object.
     * @param string|null $operator
     *   The operator to use. Supported for all supported databases are at least:
     *   - The comparison operators =, <>, <, <=, >, >=.
     *   - The operators (NOT) BETWEEN, (NOT) IN, (NOT) EXISTS, (NOT) LIKE.
     *   Other operators (e.g. LIKE, BINARY) may or may not work. Defaults to =.
     *
     * @return $this
     *   The called object.
     *
     * @throws \Drupal\Core\Database\InvalidQueryException
     *   If passed invalid arguments, such as an empty array as $value.
