Laravel Display Many to Many with Pivot in Blade - laravel

Question

Background:
I have a pivot table with Medication, Patient with pivot element day, time, given, given by and lock.
Example:
id medication_id patient_id Day time given
1 1 (MED X) 1 (Patient X) Yesterday 0900 1
2 1 (MED X) 1 (Patient X) Yesterday 1200 1
3 1 (MED X) 1 (Patient X) Today 0900 0
4 2 (MED Y) 1 (Patient X) Tomorrow 1200 0
5 2 (MED Y) 1 (Patient X) Yesterday 0900 1
6 1 (MED X) 2 (Patient Y) Yesterday 1200 1
7 1 (MED X) 2 (Patient Y) Yesterday 0900 1
8 3 (MED Z) 2 (Patient Y) Yesterday 1200 0
A patient can have the same medication but at multiple times within the same day. Let's say Patient X had Med X yesterday at 0900 and 1200, today at 0900 but not tomorrow.
To see all the Medication assigned to the Patient X
$assignedMeds = $patient->medication()->get();
And passed it into the view.
What I have right now is
#if(isset($assignedMeds))
<div class="card-body">
<table class="table table-hover">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Yesterday</th>
<th>Today</th>
<th>Tomorrow</th>
</tr>
#foreach($assignedMeds as $assignedMed)
<tr>
<td>{{$assignedMed->name}}</td>
<td>
#if(($assignedMed->pivot->day) == 'yesterday')
#if($assignedMed->pivot->given)
<i class="fas fa-check green"></i>
<strike>{{$assignedMed->pivot->time}}</strike>
<em>{{$assignedMed->pivot->givenby}}</em>
#else
{{$assignedMed->pivot->time}}
#endif
#endif
</td>
<td>
#if(($assignedMed->pivot->day) == 'today')
#if($assignedMed->pivot->given)
<i class="fas fa-check green"></i>
<strike>{{$assignedMed->pivot->time}}</strike>
<em>{{$assignedMed->pivot->givenby}}</em>
#else
<form method="post" action="/mar/{{$assignedMed->id}}">
#csrf
#method('PATCH')
<input hidden name="givenby" id="givenby" value="1">
<button>{{$assignedMed->pivot->time}}</button>
</form>
#endif
#endif
</td>
<td>
#if(($assignedMed->pivot->day) == 'tomorrow')
{{$assignedMed->pivot->time}}
#endif
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
#endif
And it gives me
Medication Name Yesterday Today Tomorrow
Med X 0900 Given
Med X 0900
Med X 1200 Given
Med Y 0900 Given
Med Y 0900
What I am looking for
What I am trying to get is to display the name of medication once and show the time in it.
Example for Patient X
Medication Name Yesterday Today Tomorrow
Med X 0900 Given 0900
1200 Given
Med Y 0900 Given 0900

Answer 1

You could use the groupBy() and where() Collection methods in your #foreach. It should end up looking like this.
<!-- $index will be the 'name' we grouped by (medication name) -->
#foreach($assignedMeds->groupBy('name') as $index => $assignedMed)
<tr>
<!-- medication name -->
<td>{{ $index }}</td>
<!-- yesterday's medications -->
<td>
#foreach($assignedMed->where('pivot.day', 'Yesterday') as $yesterdaysMeds)
#if($yesterdaysMeds->pivot->given)
<i class="fas fa-check green"></i>
<strike>{{$yesterdaysMeds->pivot->time}}</strike>
<em>{{$yesterdaysMeds->pivot->givenby}}</em>
#else
{{$yesterdaysMeds->pivot->time}}
#endif
<!-- line break -->
<br>
#endforeach
</td>
<!-- today's medications -->
<td>
#foreach($assignedMed->where('pivot.day', 'Today') as $todaysMeds)
#if($todaysMeds->pivot->given)
<i class="fas fa-check green"></i>
<strike>{{$todaysMeds->pivot->time}}</strike>
<em>{{$todaysMeds->pivot->givenby}}</em>
#else
<form method="post" action="/mar/{{$todaysMeds->id}}">
#csrf
#method('PATCH')
<input hidden name="givenby" id="givenby" value="1">
<button>{{$todaysMeds->pivot->time}}</button>
</form>
#endif
<!-- line break -->
<br>
#endforeach
</td>
<!-- tomorrow's medications -->
<td>
#foreach($assignedMed->where('pivot.day', 'Tomorrow') as $tomorrowsMeds)
{{ $tomorrowsMeds->pivot->time }}
<!-- line break -->
<br>
#endforeach
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
