Join query in laravel with data manipulation send to view - laravel

I am having 2 tables, users and profiledetails
I am able to run Join query and access the data and send to view.
But when I am manipulation the field 'dob' (date format) in profiledetails table. No Success, Please check the code below ,
webpagesConroller:
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('profiledetails', 'users.id', '=', 'profiledetails.user_id')
->select('users.*', 'profiledetails.dob')
->get();
$age = $users->dob->diffInYears(Carbon::now());
return view('webpages.index',compact('users'))->with($age);
View:
<li class="cate_head">Age : {{ $age}}</li>
Error:
Trying to get property of non-object
I have model Profiledetails added the mutators as below,
public function getAge(){
return $this->dob->diffInYears(Carbon::now());
}
public function getDOB(){
return $this->dob->format('d-m-Y');
}
Can I not use this method on another controller for Ex- webpagesController, If yes How.

Since you are using a raw query, the data returned is not an object but an array with the data.
Also you did not limit the query, meaning it could return multiple rows.
You'll probably need to get the data from the $users as:
//with the possibily of multiple rows. Index is the row which has to be used
$users[index]['dob']
//when you are sure it only returns one row
$users[0]['dob'] // or $users['dob'] not sure as of the moment
You want to check the differences with Carbon.
So you will probably need to make a Carbon object of the dob result and check it against the Carbon::now.
$age = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $users[0]['dob'])->diffForHumans();
// diffForHumans() uses the local time
Note that this only gets the age for one row (the index or the first because of [0]).
If you want to do it for every row use a for or foreach where you set the $users->age for every $user. But as these are not object/models but raw data, this will not work.
Hope this helps your question a bit

use a custom function inside a laravel select

I have a query that needs to use a custom function like is showed below.
The problem is that one of the parameters is a value of another field from the same query.
The function is "calcula_distancia" and "$ofps[0]->latitude" and "$ofps[0]->longitude" are fields from a previus query.
The function needs 4 parameters and the last two are field from $necps that is beeing selected, but I can not retrieve the value from it using just 'participantes.latitude' or even without cotes. It passes a string only, to the function.
So, how can I pass the value from this fields beeing selected to the function?
Tryed to use RAW but not work.
Sorry for the big question. thanks! :-)
use App\Classes\MinhasFuncoes;
$mf = new MinhasFuncoes();
$necps = DB::table('necessidades_part')->where('necessidades_part.id_part',"<>",$id_part)
->where(function($query) use ($searchValues){
foreach ($searchValues as $value) {
if(strlen($value)>3){
$query->orwhere('obs','like','%'.($value).'%')
->orwhere('necessidades.descricao','like','%'.($value).'%')
->orwhere('categorias.descricao','like','%'.($value).'%');
}
}
})
->join('participantes','necessidades_part.id_part','=','participantes.id')
->join('necessidades','necessidades_part.id_nec','=','necessidades.id')
->join('categorias','necessidades.id_cat','=','categorias.id')
->join('unidades','necessidades.id_unid','=','unidades.id')
->select('participantes.id as id_part','participantes.nome_part','participantes.latitude',
'participantes.longitude','participantes.nome_part','necessidades_part.id as id_nec_part',
'necessidades_part.id_nec','necessidades_part.quant','necessidades_part.data',
'necessidades_part.obs','necessidades.descricao as desc_nec',
'categorias.descricao as desc_cat','unidades.descricao as desc_unid',
$mf->calcula_distancia($ofps[0]->latitude,$ofps[0]->longitude,'participantes.latitude',
'participantes.longitude').' as distancia')
->orderBy('data','desc')
->paginate(10);
you can not execute your PHP function inside of your DB query. you should use MySQL function instead of that or you should fetch results from the database then map your result just in PHP

How to apply an operation/functionality on one column during getting data of a table in Laravel Controller?

I want to get all the data of today's Date, but during getting it I want to apply an operation on the data of one column only NOT others. This operation is from another function.
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
I have two options:
During getting data, call to that function on the specific column
After getting data, put a loop and then apply that operation and save data into new object
In this table, there is a column called profit, and I want to encode this profit into alphabets by calling encode_code() function remaining the other data as it is.
I don't know how I can do this, please help me if anyone knows.
You can use a foreach loop to get each object from the collection and for each of those object,call the desired function.
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
foreach($data as $key => $dat)
{
$data[$key]->profit = encode_code($dat->profit);
}
I think you should call the function and turn it like this
I just didn't know what you wanted to do, so this is my best
$data = Net::whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
foreach($data as $i => $d){
$data[$i]->profit = encode_codeļ¼ˆ$d->profit);
}
Of course you could loop through your result and encode each row, but this would prevent you from reusing this code.
Instead you could put that encode function directly into the model, so that you can reuse it everywhere:
public function getEncodedProfit() {
return encode_code($this->profit);
}
Now you can just use this function everywhere in your controllers or views like that:
echo $net->getEncodedProfit();

Manual function inside query?

Is there any way to put a manual function inside a query in Laravel.
I've timestamp saved in string in DB. I want to convert timestamp from one timezone to another. All the timestamp is inserted in one time zone, and depending upon my user I fetch the timestamp and convert it into their timezone.
what I want to achieve is something like this..
$query = BlogCategory::select('merchant_id', userTime(added_at))
->where('site_id', $site_id)
->get();
userTime() function takes two parameter, the timestamp and the timezone and converts the timsestamp to time of the user.
I want to use userTime() function before fetching the data. I dont want to fetch the data first and then do foreach and so on.
I know I might be absolutely absurd but is there anything of this sort in Laravel?
Well you can achieved that using collection map
$query = BlogCategory::select('merchant_id', 'added_at')
->where('site_id', $site_id)
->get();
$dateAdded = $query->map(function ($data) {
// try this if error $data['merchant_id']
return array(
'merchant_id' => $data->merchant_id,
'added_at' => $this->userTime($data->added_at)
);
})
dd($dateAdded);
Read Collection documentation here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/collections
You should use the selectRaw statement and let your DB do this logic for you if you don't want to loop over the result set.
For example if your underlying database is MySQL you can use the CONVERT_TIMEZONE function and do something like this.
BlogCategory::selectRaw('merchant_id, CONVERT_TZ(added_at, "GMT", "MET") as added_at')
->where('site_id', $site_id)
->get();

Laravel Eloquent: count($result) vs $result->count()

I'm a bit new to this, and was originally trying to check if my model was returning results with isEmpty(), but thought I'd try count() instead, then I came across the following:
I've got the following code, which returns data from my model:
$results = Game::where('code', '=', $code)->with('genre', 'creator')
And whether I use first() or get() combined with count(result) or $results->count() I get different values, and I'm not sure why.
when using ->first()
dd($results->count()) = 11930 // Number of rows in the db
when using ->get()
dd($results->count()) = 1 // What I'd expect the query to return
when using ->first()
dd(count($results)) = "count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable"
when using ->get()
dd(count($results)) = 1
I don't understand 1) why when using first, the count is the same as every row in the db. 2) Why count() can't be used with first().
Is anyone able to shed some light as to why I can't use count on first as I'd like to?
Update:
I'm also not able to use ->isEmpty() with ->first() but can with ->get()...?
When I try using it with first, I get Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::isEmpty does not exist.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure why your database count and your results count aren't the same, however I can shed some light on the different types of count.
Game::where('code', '=', $code)->count();
This is being called on a query builder instance. It is run on the database query, without selecting all the rows. Check out the title Aggregates here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/queries
Game::where('code', '=', $code)->get()->count();
As soon as your use get() laravel selects the rows, boots them all as models, and creates a collection. This count is on the collection (a bit like an array) so just gets the number that are returned (i.e. if they are paginated or anything like that it will just get that amount). Check out Count here.
Game::where('code', '=', $code)->first()->count();
This is being run on the first returned model... unless you've written it, a default laravel model won't have a count() method.
count($results)
Finally, count() when not a class method is just the default php function that returns the length of an array or other object (documentation).
First of all,
get() returns collection of objects while first() returns modal object of query.
$results = Game::where('code', '=', $code)->with('genre', 'creator')
dd($results->count()) = 11930 // Number of rows in the db
when using ->get()
$results = Game::where('code', '=', $code)->with('genre', 'creator')->get()
dd($results->count()) = 1
because it has collection, which contains numbers of objects of database data. As ->count getting only one collection so it returns 1.

Laravel - When to use ->get()

I'm confused as to when ->get() in Laravel...
E.G. DB::table('users')->find(1) doesn't need ->get() to retrieve the results, neither does User::find(1)
The laravel docs say "...execute the query using the get or first method..."
I've read the Fluent Query Builder and Eloquent docs but don't understand when the usage of get() is required...
Thanks for the help
Since the find() function will always use the primary key for the table, the need for get() is not necessary. Because you can't narrow your selection down and that's why it will always just try to get that record and return it.
But when you're using the Fluent Query Builder you can nest conditions as such:
$userQuery = DB::table('users');
$userQuery->where('email', '=', 'foo#bar.com');
$userQuery->or_where('email', '=', 'bar#foo.com');
This allows you to add conditions throughout your code until you actually want to fetch them, and then you would call the get() function.
// Done with building the query
$users = $userQuery->get();
For find(n), you retrieve a row based on the primary key which is 'n'.
For first(), you retrieve the first row among all rows that fit the where clauses.
For get(), you retrieve all the rows that fit the where clauses. (Please note that loops are required to access all the rows or you will get some errors).
find returns one row from the database and represent it as a fluent / eloquent object. e.g. SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 3 is equivalent to DB::table('users')->find(3);
get returns an array of objects. e.g. SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at > '2014-10-12' is equivalent to DB::table('users')->where('created_at', '>', '2014-10-12')->get() will return an array of objects containing users where the created at field is newer than 4014-10-12.
The get() method will give you all the values from the database that meet your parameters where as first() gets you just the first result. You use find() and findOrFail() when you are searching for a key. This is how I use them:
When I want all data from a table I use the all() method
Model::all();
When I want to find by the primary key:
Model::find(1)->first();
Or
Model::findOrFail(1)->first();
This will work if there is a row with a primary key of one. It should only retrieve one row so I use first() instead of get(). Remember if you deleted the row that used key 1, or don't have data in your table, your find(1) will fail.
When I am looking for specific data as in a where clause:
Model::where('field', '=', 'value')->get();
When I want only the first value of the data in the where clause.
Model::where('field', '=', 'value')->first();
Basically what you need to understand is that get() return a collection(note that one object can be in the collection but it still a collection) why first() returns the first object from the result of the query(that is it returns an object)
#Take_away
Get() return a collection first() return an object
You can use get() method with latest() method to get the latest record that were recently added to your table
For example
$user=Student::latest()->get();
return all the data in descending order
