I have a model with a custom attribute like this
public function getOpenStatusAttribute()
{
//some logic...
//returns '1-order' or '2-pre-order' or '3-closed'
}
Now i want to sort the collection in the eloquent query. I use order by name etc.. those are columns in the table but i want to order it by the custom attribute first, and then by name etc..
is it possible to do this in the query? or do i have to loop the collection and do some resorting ?
ok so the solution is:
->sortBy(['open_status'])->sortBy(['name']);
after the ->get()
hope it can help someone in the future

i need some hints and what is the best way and pratice with laravel to solve this problem!
I have a main table called colors with the fields category_id and type and i have in my models 2 relationships for the category_id, the bluecategory and redcategory.
In some cases i use the id from bluecategory and in other exemples i use the redcategory id.
Now in one page i want to shows all the results from colors, but i can't do this $data->bluecategory or $data->redcategory because i dont'no what record is using what relationship.
My ideia was using a function to send parameters category_id and type and inside the function discover what is the correspondente relashion and return the correct result.
But how i can handle this?
Sorry its a bit confuse!
You could add a scope to your modal and than chain it to your existing query.
Example
public function scopeName($query, $catID, $type)
{
return $query->where('category_id, $catID)
->where('type', $type);
}
I've got a collection of records retrieved via a relationship, and I'd like to order them by the created_at field. Is this possible in Eloquent?
Here is how I am retrieving the collection:
$skills = $employee->skills;
I'd like to order this $skills collection by their creation. I've tried $skills->orderBy('created_at', 'desc'); but the Collection class does not have an orderBy method.
I guess this problem is very simple and I'm missing something..
You can do this in two ways. Either you can orderBy your results while query, as in
$employee->skills()->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
OR
You can use sortBy and sortByDesc on your collection
The reason this is failing is that orderBy is a query method not a collection method.
If you used $skills = $employee->skills()->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();, this would query the skills in the order you want.
Alternatively, if you already had a collection that you wanted to re-order, you could use the sortBy or sortByDesc methods.
You need to add the orderBy constraint on the query instead of the relationship.
For e.g,
$employees = Employee::where('salary', '>', '50000') // just an example
->with('skills') // eager loading the relationship
->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
->get();
and then:
foreach($employees as $employee)
{
var_dump($employee->skill);
}
If you want the results to always be ordered by a field, you can specify that on the relationship:
Employee.php
public function skills() {
return $this->hasMany(Skills::class)->orderBy('created_at');
}
If you just want to order them sometimes, you can use orderBy(), but on the relationship, not the property:
$skills = $employee->skills()->orderBy('created_at')->get();
Collection has sortBy and sortByDesc
$skills = $skills->sortBy('created_at');
$skills = $skills->sortByDesc('created_at');
This Stackoverflow question askes how to order an Eloquent collection. However, I would like to propose a different solution to use instead given the example in the question. I would like to recommend to use an ordering on the query itself for performance reasons.
Like #Don't Panic proposes you can specify a default ordering on the relationship for great reusability convenience:
app/Models/Employee.php
public function skills() {
return $this->hasMany(Skills::class)->orderBy('created_at');
}
However, if you have already set an ordering on your query like we do in the code above, any additional orderings will be ignored. So that is a bummer if you want to use a different sorting in another situation. To overwrite this default ordering and re-order the query with a new ordering, one needs to use the reorder() method. For example:
// Get a Collections of Skill-models ordered by the oldest skill first.
$skills = $employee->skills()->reorder()->orderByDesc('created_at')->get();
// Same result as the previous example, but different syntax.
$skills = $employee->skills()->reorder()->oldest()->get();
// Or just give some arguments to the reorder() method directly:
$skills = $employee->skills()->reorder('created_at', 'desc')->get();
I'm using laravel and eloquent.
Actually I have problems filtering results from a table based on conditions on another table's attributes.
I have 3 tables:
venue
city
here are the relationships:
a city has many locations and a location belongs to a city.
a location belongs to a venue and a venue has one location.
I have a city_id attribute on locations table, which you may figured out from relationships.
The question is simple:
how can I get those venues which belong to a specific city?
the eloquent query I expect looks like this:
$venues=Venue::with('location')->where('location.city_id',$city->getKey());
Of course that's not gonna work, but seems like this is common task and there would be an eloquent command for it.
Thanks!
A couple of options:
$venues = Venue::whereIn('location_id', Location::whereCityId($city->id)->get->lists('id'))
->get();
Or possibly using whereHas:
$venues = Venue::whereHas('location', function($query) use ($city) {
$query->whereCityId($city->id);
})->get();
It is important to remember that each eloquent query returns a collection, and hence you can use "collection methods" on the result. So as said in other answers, you need a Eager Loading which you ask for the attribute you want to sort on from another table based on your relationship and then on the result, which is a collection, you either use "sortBy" or "sortByDesc" methods.
You can look at an example below:
class Post extends Model {
// imagine timpestamp table: id, publish, delete,
// timestampable_id, timestampble_type
public function timestamp()
{
return $this->morphOne(Timestamp::class, 'timestampable');
}
}
and then in the view side of the stuff:
$posts = App\Post::with('timestamp')->get(); // we make Eager Loading
$posts = $posts->sortByDesc('timestamp.publish');
return view('blog.index', compact('posts'));
Im getting various data out of my database.
Product::with('users');
I also have toe execute a complex raw query to get back some information. This is returned as an array.
In my method I would like to get products with users and then add on the data from my raw query to this collection, but this data comes back as an array. Something like:
Product::with('users');
Product->extraData = $rawQuery;
How can I add the raw query output to my Product Collection?
By using Eloquent Facade like Product:: you will get an Eloquent Model object as a result or an Eloquent Collection object as a result, including results retrieved via the get method or accessed via a relationship.
Now, if i understand correctly, you need to add a single extraData property to Eloquent Collection model alongside with Collection items? Or you need to add extraData for each Product ?
If you need to add additional property to Eloquent Collection object, maybe it is a good idea to use a Custom Collection. Please read this section: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent-collections#custom-collections .
<?php namespace App;
use App\CollectionWithExtraData;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
public function newCollection(array $models = [])
{
return new CollectionWithExtraData($models);
}
}
And maybe your CollectionWithExtraData can have let's say a
public function setExtraData() {
}
or
public $extraData = array();
If you need extraData for each Product Eloquent Model, just create a new attribute within your Eloquent Model, make it public and set your extra data when needed. Make use of setExtraData() method and $extraData property from above
I have a custom module and I am loading a collection like following
$collection = Mage::getModel('module/product')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('sku',$sku);
There is field named as prod_id in the database. Can I get this as entity_id while loading the collection?
If yes. Please help how to do this.
First of all all
addAttributeToFilter() is used to filter EAV collections.
addFieldToFilter() is used to filter Non-EAV collections.
EAV-models are for example product, customer, sales, etc so you can use use addAttributeToFilter() for those entities.
addFieldToFilter() is mapped to `addAttributeToFilter()` for `EAV` entities. So you can just use `addFieldToFiler().`
You can have a look in app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Collection/Abstract.php where the Mapping is done:
public function addFieldToFilter($attribute, $condition = null) {
return $this->addAttributeToFilter($attribute, $condition);
}
If you are using custom module then you can directly use addFieldToFilter() with your column name
Like
$collection = Mage::getModel('module/model')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('column_name',$data);
Let me know if you have any query
