Laravel Mutator in query builder? - laravel

Question

I've no idea how to define two field as one field using mutator in query builder
here's my code
$model = LoanInformation::select(
'basic_information.first_name', 'basic_information.last_name',
'loan_information.id', 'loan_information.tenor'
)->join(
'basic_information', 'loan_information.user_id', '=', 'basic_information.user_id'
)->where(
'loan_information.status', 'funding'
)->paginate(9);
How can I make first_name and last_name define as name and add statement on it which return strtoupper(first_name) and strtoupper(last_name)

Answer 1

To your LoanInformation model, add the following method:
public function getNameAttribute() {
return strtoupper($this->first_name . ' ' . $this->last_name);
}
This will enable you to write $model->name which will return the firstname and lastname, joined with a space, all in uppercase.

Answer 2

I just figure it out by adding key and value to the array instead of mutator or accessor
here's my own answer
$model = LoanInformation::select(
'loan_information.id', 'loan_information.tenor',
'basic_information.first_name', 'basic_information.last_name'
)->leftjoin(
'basic_information', 'loan_information.user_id', '=',
'basic_information.user_id'
)->where('loan_information.status', 'funding')
->orderBy('loan_information.created_at', 'ASC')
->paginate(9);
foreach($model as $key => $value) {
$tx_funding = TxFunding::whereLoanId($value->id)->get();
$name = substr($value->first_name, 0, 1).substr($value->last_name, 0, 2);
$model[$key]['name'] = strtoupper($name);
$model[$key]['grade'] = 'A+';
$model[$key]['fundraiser'] = $tx_funding->count();
$model[$key]['progress'] = 50;
$model[$key] = array_except($value, ['first_name', 'last_name']);
}
return response()->json($model);
