How to use Accessor as a condition in Laravel? - laravel

Question

I have this Accessor bellow which returns one string result (example: 'Ready' or 'Ongoing' ...):
public function getMinimumStatusAttribute()
{
$statusIds = [];
$tasks = $this->tasks()->get();
foreach ($tasks as $task) {
array_push($statusIds, $task->task_status_id);
}
return taskStatus::orderBy('order', 'asc')
->where('operational_status', '=', true)
->whereIn('id', $statusIds)->value('name');
}
I have TeamleaderDeal model :
return TeamleaderDeal::all();
which returns:
[
{
"id": 4,
"teamleader_id": "8b03da5a-af1f-051d-ad6d-b6199c7f7c35",
"created_at": "2019-09-09 11:41:46",
"updated_at": "2019-09-14 20:57:03",
"title": "Brand identity #2",
"reference": "12",
"lead_company_id": "adeddc13-6962-0a19-ac72-6713d1cf1455",
"teamleader_company_id": 1,
"dealphase_id": "199a34fc-de5c-038d-a655-c61fa4d97d17",
"estimated_closing_date": null,
"po_number": "az215487",
"teamleader_deal_phase_id": 6,
"dealPhase": "Refused",
"tasksCount": 5,
"companyLanguage": "nl",
-------------------------
"minimumStatus": "ready", ||||||accessor results
-------------------------
"invoiced": 1,
(...)
I would like to filter TeamleaderDeal results by MinimumStatus to show for example only results where MinimumStatus equal to 'Ready' ?
Thanks

Answer 1

You may use
public function getMinimumStatusAttribute($minimumStatus = NULL) {
if($minimumStatus === 'Ready') {
// do the magic here
$statusIds = [];
$tasks = $this->tasks()->get();
foreach ($tasks as $task) {
array_push($statusIds, $task->task_status_id);
}
return taskStatus::orderBy('order', 'asc')
->where('operational_status', '=', true)
->whereIn('id', $statusIds)->value('name');
}
// else return default value
return $this->attributes['minimum_status'];
}
Edit
Regarding your updates you may use reject method provider by Laravel Collection
E.g
$teamleaderDeals = TeamleaderDeal::all();
return $teamleaderDeals->reject(function ($teamleaderDeal) {
return $teamleaderDeal->minimumStatus !== 'Ready';
});

Answer 2

I think you need this simple where clause:
return taskStatus::orderBy('order', 'asc')
->where('operational_status', '=', true)
->where('name', 'Ready')
->whereIn('id', $statusIds)->value('name');

What are accessors?
Accessors create a dummy attribute on the object which you can access as if it were a database column. So if your database has user table and it has FirstName and LastName column and you need to get full name then it will be like.
Syntax of accessors:
get{Attribute}Attribute
Example :
public function getFullNameAttribute(){ return $this->FirstName. " ".$this->LastName;}
After that you can get full user name with below accessors.
{{ $user->full_name }}
After that you can get full user name with below accessors.
{{ $user->full_name }}
What is Mutator ?
Mutator is use to set value of attribute, a mutator transforms an eloquent attribute value when it is set.
How to define a mutator,
set{Attribute}Attribute
Above method on your model where {Attribute} is the "studly" cased name of the column you wish to access.
Example :
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Register extends Model
{
/**
* Set the user's first name.
*
* #param string $value
* #return void
*/
public function setNameAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['name'] = strtolower($value);
}
}
Now you can use this in your controller like.
use App\Models\Register;
$register= Register::find(1);
$register->name = 'Websolutionstuff';
