Now we're getting to the facility filtering. Imagine you search for a property, you have a list, and then you want to have additional filters: swimming pool, pets allowed, etc.
Goals of This Lesson
- Create a DB Structure for Property Facilities
- Build a list of the most popular facilities - two ways
- Restructure search results to include facilities
- Property filter by facility
By the end of this lesson, we will have this test passing in Terminal:
New "Type": Property Facilities
Browsing through Booking.com, I realized one more thing: these are all facilities, but they don't belong to the apartments. There are also property facilities, more global things like parking, non-smoking areas, etc...
$allfacilities = $properties->pluck('facilities')->flatten();
$facilities = $allfacilities->groupBy('name')->mapWithKeys(function($items, $key){ return [$key => count($items)]; });
maybe a bit more readable to get the count using collection.
It really depends on how good you are with collections. Sure, it is almost the same code, but in the end - it's just another way of writing it! So you whatever you see fit :)
