I want to fetch records from a table and then pass to other statement in Where clause. Following is my code:
$items = $this->where('id','=',$category_id)->delete();
$result = $item_subscriber->where('item_id','IN',items)->delete(); //Is it possible?
For a WHERE IN you should use the whereIn() function. Also delete() returns the number of affected rows, so it won't be of much use...
$ids = $this->where('id','=',$category_id)->lists('id');
$this->whereIn('id', $ids)->delete();
$item_subscriber->whereIn('item_id', $ids)->delete();

How can I remove the limit/offset from the below query?
$query = TestModel::where('a', 'b')->limit(100);
$query->removeLimit();
I'm using a query from another module and I don't want to change the code.
You can reset the $limit property:
$query = TestModel::where('a', 'b')->limit(100);
$query->limit = null;
$unlimited = $query->get();
$query->getQuery()->limit = null;
One can reset the limit by passing the null value to the limit method.
$query->limit(null);
Works both with Eloquent\Builder and Query\Builder.
The simple answer to your question is - you cannot. Because you have already filtered the result set to a limit of 100 tuples.
What is the reason for you to avoid the change in code in the Model? Because what #Dhruv has suggested is the correct way to achieve what you want to.
In fact, if you still want to keep the code intact. You can rather define another function in your model this way and use it internally in your old function:
public function newFunction(){
return TestModel::where('a', 'b')->get();
}
public function oldFunction(){
return $this->newFunction()->limit(100);
}
Keeping your code consistent, then use newFunction() in your Controller to do whatever you want to.
get(): To get all record from table use get():
$query = TestModel::where('a', 'b')->get();
limit(): To limit the number of results returned from the query
$query = TestModel::where('a', 'b')->limit(10)->get();
I have a basic query set up in the show method of a laravel resource
public function show($id){
$results = Student::find($id);
$drives= Drive:: where('student_id', $id);
}
The query for $results works perfectly. The query for $drives does not work unless I do ->get() at the end of it. Why is this? what's the difference between the two queries so that one requires the ->get() and the other does not? Solving this problem took me like 5 hrs and i'm just curious as to the functionality behind it so i can avoid this headache in the future.
Some eloquent expressions have a get implicitly. Those ones who are made by a Query Builder will need a ->get() call, find(), findOne()... won't need a get().
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent#retrieving-models
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/queries
use get to execute a builder query. unless you run the get() query wont be executed. get will return a collection.
1 - Use query builder to build queries however you want.
$drives= Drive:: where('student_id', $id);
dd($drives); // will return a query builder, you can use it to build query by chaining
2 - when you are ready to execute the query call get()
$drives= Drive:: where('student_id', $id);
$result = $drives->get()
dd($result); // will return a database query result set as a collection object
If you want to get a single object by id use find, to get a single object
$results = Student::find($id);
dd($result); will return a single model
Using the function find() on a model gets a query result based on the primary key of the model, id in this case.
When using where(), it gets a collection (an object of all query results), so if you only want the first result you must call $drives=Drive::where('student_id', $id)->first();
Here is a more in-depth explanation: the difference of find and get in Eloquent
$user_emails = ["email_1#domain.com", "email_2#domain.org"];
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails);
The table for users also has a phone column for each user. What's the best way to get a list/array of the phone number as an array?
$users->all()->phone(); // Like (which is not correct)
Try to use get() like :
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->get(['phone'])->toArray();
Or also pluck() like :
$users = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->pluck('phone')->all();
Hope this helps.
Use pluck method to fetch a specific column's values and then use toArray on returned Collection object to get results as an array.
$phoneNumbers = Users::whereIn("email", $user_emails)->pluck('phone')->toArray();
You can get all column data with get()
Example:
$user = $user::where('email', $user_emails)->get();
You can get the list with foreach loop method.
Hi how can I select limited number of all the item from model and the selection with certain names.
eg:
$product = Product::all()->limit(4)->select('id','name');
Most of example start with Product::find(1) but my case, I don't have id. Thanks
Use the other methods first, then call get at the end:
$products = Product::limit(4)->select('id', 'name')->get();
Limit Query Results
To limit the number of results returned from the query, or to skip a given number of results in the query, you may use the skip() and take() methods:
Example of User model which extends Eloquent:
$users = User::take(5)->skip(10)->get();
Product::all() will be used when get all data without any condition. You need to use get method.
you need to
$products = Product::select('id', 'name')->limit(4)->get();
I'm stuck on a simple task.
I just need to order results coming from this call
$results = Project::all();
Where Project is a model. I've tried this
$results = Project::all()->orderBy("name");
But it didn't work. Which is the better way to obtain all data from a table and get them ordered?
You can actually do this within the query.
$results = Project::orderBy('name')->get();
This will return all results with the proper order.
You could still use sortBy (at the collection level) instead of orderBy (at the query level) if you still want to use all() since it returns a collection of objects.
Ascending Order
$results = Project::all()->sortBy("name");
Descending Order
$results = Project::all()->sortByDesc("name");
Check out the documentation about Collections for more details.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/collections
In addition, just to buttress the former answers, it could be sorted as well either in descending desc or ascending asc orders by adding either as the second parameter.
$results = Project::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
DO THIS:
$results = Project::orderBy('name')->get();
Why?
Because it's fast! The ordering is done in the database.
DON'T DO THIS:
$results = Project::all()->sortBy('name');
Why?
Because it's slow. First, the the rows are loaded from the database, then loaded into Laravel's Collection class, and finally, ordered in memory.
2017 update
Laravel 5.4 added orderByDesc() methods to query builder:
$results = Project::orderByDesc('name')->get();
While you need result for date as desc
$results = Project::latest('created_at')->get();
In Laravel Eloquent you have to create like the query below it will get all the data from the DB, your query is not correct:
$results = Project::all()->orderBy("name");
You have to use it in this way:
$results = Project::orderBy('name')->get();
By default, your data is in ascending order, but you can also use orderBy in the following ways:
//---Ascending Order
$results = Project::orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();
//---Descending Order
$results = Project::orderBy('name', 'desc')->get();
Check out the sortBy method for Eloquent: http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent
Note, you can do:
$results = Project::select('name')->orderBy('name')->get();
This generate a query like:
"SELECT name FROM proyect ORDER BY 'name' ASC"
In some apps when the DB is not optimized and the query is more complex, and you need prevent generate a ORDER BY in the finish SQL, you can do:
$result = Project::select('name')->get();
$result = $result->sortBy('name');
$result = $result->values()->all();
Now is php who order the result.
You instruction require call to get, because is it bring the records and orderBy the catalog
$results = Project::orderBy('name')
->get();
Example:
$results = Result::where ('id', '>=', '20')
->orderBy('id', 'desc')
->get();
In the example the data is filtered by "where" and bring records greater than 20 and orderBy catalog by order from high to low.
Try this:
$categories = Category::all()->sortByDesc("created_at");
One interesting thing is multiple order by:
according to laravel docs:
DB::table('users')
->orderBy('priority', 'desc')
->orderBy('email', 'asc')
->get();
this means laravel will sort result based on priority attribute. when it's done, it will order result with same priority based on email internally.
EDIT:
As #HedayatullahSarwary said, it's recommended to prefer Eloquent over QueryBuilder. off course i didn't encourage using QueryBuilder and we all know that each has own usecases.
Any way so why i wrote an answer with QueryBuilder? As we see in eloquent documents:
You can think of each Eloquent model as a powerful query builder allowing you to fluently query the database table associated with the model.
BTWS the above code with eloquent should be something like this:
Project::orderBy('priority', 'desc')
->orderBy('email', 'asc')
->get();
