store data from conroller to database in laravel - laravel

Question

Am getting data from two tables banks one has bank details and another has cheques. the cheques table has bank_id column where by i loop through and calculate the totals of each bank.
How can i store the data in a table instead of it staying in a variable.
I have a controller to calculate the totals;
$banks_data = Bank::all();
$banks_totals = [];
foreach ($banks_data as $bank){
$totals = InsuranceCheque::where('bank_id', $bank->id)->sum('amount');
array_push($banks_totals,
[
'id'=>$bank->id,
'name'=> $bank->name,
'description' =>$bank->description,
'amount'=>$totals,
'created_at'=>$bank->created_at,
]);
}
but how will i be able to access the data in a different controller?

Answer 1

Which table do you want to save it to? Assuming you have a model BankTotal that handles the table bank_totals, you can do this
$banks_data = Bank::all();
$banks_totals = [];
foreach ($banks_data as $bank){
$totals = InsuranceCheque::where('bank_id', $bank->id)->sum('amount');
array_push($banks_totals,
[
'id'=>$bank->id,
'name'=> $bank->name,
'description' =>$bank->description,
'amount'=>$totals,
'created_at'=>$bank->created_at,
]);
}
BankTotal::insert($bank_totals);//Bulk insert
I did not understand the second part of the question on "but how will i be able to access the data in a different controller?"
But you can access the data from another controller by querying the model:
BankTotal::all();
