Laravel year, sum, count, group by eloquent query - laravel

Question

Can someone show me how I would build this query with eloquent, or is this required to be written with a DB:Raw query, or would it be best to be a raw sql query?
select `pay_week`,
year(`start_timestamp`) as year,
sum(`total_duration`) as 'duration',
count(`pay_week`) as 'entries'
from `time_clock`
group by year(`start_timestamp`),`pay_week`;
Any help to better understand would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
$entries = TimeClock::select(
'pay_week',
DB::raw('count(pay_week) as entries'),
DB::raw('YEAR(start_timestamp) as year'),
DB::raw('sum(total_duration) as duration')
)
->where('user_id', $user->record_id)
->sum('total_duration')
->groupBy('pay_week')
->get();
results in a
Call to a member function groupBy() on float
What I have now;
Blade;
<table class="table table-hover dataTable table-striped width-full" data-plugin="dataTable">
<thead>
<th>Pay Week</th>
<th>Date Range</th>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Total Hours</th>
<th>Gross Pay</th>
<th>Entries</th>
<th>Action</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($entries as $group)
#foreach($group->entries as $entry)
#php
$week_start = (new DateTime())->setISODate(date("Y"),$entry->pay_week)->format("m/d");
$start = \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat("m/d", $week_start);
$end = $start->copy()->endOfWeek()->format('m/d');
$year = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($entry->start_timestamp)->format('Y');
#endphp
<tr>
<td>{{ $entry->pay_week }}</td>
<td>{{ $start->format('m/d') . ' - ' . $end }}</td>
<td>{{ $year }}</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>$ 0.00</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>[ Btn ]</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
This is what I have in the controller method.
$user = Auth::guard('user')->user();
$entries = TimeClock::select(
'pay_week',
'start_timestamp',
'total_duration'
)
->where('user_id', $user->record_id)
->get()
->groupBy('pay_week')
->map(function($entry) {
return (object)[
'count' => $entry->count(),
'duration' => $entry->sum('total_duration'),
//'year' => $entry->sum('start_timestamp')->year,
'entries' => $entry
];
});
return view('user.timeclock.reports.all', [
'entries' => $entries
]);

Answer 1

Given, that you set the cast in your model
class TimeClock extends Model
{
protected $cast = [
'start_timestamp' => 'datetime'
];
}
you can do the following:
$entries = TimeClock::select(
'pay_week',
'start_timestamp',
'total_duration'
)
->where('user_id', $user->record_id)
//->groupBy('pay_week')
->get()
->groupBy([ 'pay_week', function($entry) {
return $entry->start_timestamp->year
})
/*->map(function($entry) {
return (object)[
'count' => $entry->count(),
'duration' => $entry->sum('total_duration'),
'year' => $entry->start_timestamp->year,
'entries' => $entry
];
})*/;
You loop over it like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Pay week</th>
<th>Date range</th>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Total hours</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach($entries as $pay_week => $groups)
#foreach($groups as $year => $group)
<!--pay_week: {{ $pay_week }}<br />
count: {{ $group->count() }}<br />
duration: {{ $group->sum('total_duration') }}<br />
year: {{ $year }}<br />-->
<tr>
<td>{{ $pay_week }}</td>
<td></td>
<td>{{ $year }}</td>
<td>{{ $group->sum('total_duration') }}</td>
</tr>
#foreach($group as $entry)
#endforeach
#endforeach
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
