If I'd have the following table structure
ID name type
1 John Admin
2 Johan Admin
3 Sam User
4 Rick User
How would I use Laravels Eloquent with a groupBy query, but still grab each record, and also sum up per type how many records each type has?
Example result would be as follow
[
'type' => 'Admin',
'records' => 2
'data' => [
0 => [
'name' => 'John'
],
1 => [
'name' => 'Johan'
]
]
],
[
'type' => 'User',
'records' => 2
'data' => [
0 => [
'name' => 'Sam'
],
1 => [
'name' => 'Rick'
]
]
]
Since you are querying all the users you should be doing the grouping after the query instead of grouping in query like:
$users = User::all()->groupBy('type');
Then you can do:
foreach ($allUsers as $type => $users) {
$type; // 'Admin'
$users->count(); // Record Count
foreach ($users as $user) {
$user->name; //
}
}
If you want the data EXACTLY like your example then it would be:
User::all()
->groupBy('type')
->map(function($users, $type) {
return [
'type' => $type,
'records' => $users->count(),
'data' => $users->pluck('name')
];
})
->values();
I think the best way to achieve this is to have a table with types related through hasMany()
to your data.
Then you can use standard Eloquent tools without restructuring the data manually:
$data = Type::with('users')->withCount('users')->get();
Also, you can use DB::select('select * from xxx group by yyy')
to execute the query.
