If you have hasMany()
relationship, and you want to calculate “children” entries, don’t write a special query. For example, if you have posts and comments on your User model, write this withCount()
:
public function index(){ $users = User::withCount(['posts', 'comments'])->get(); return view('users', compact('users'));}
And then, in your Blade file, you will access those number with {relationship}_count
properties:
@foreach ($users as $user)<tr> <td>{{ $user->name }}</td> <td class="text-center">{{ $user->posts_count }}</td> <td class="text-center">{{ $user->comments_count }}</td></tr>@endforeach
You may also order by that field:
User::withCount('comments')->orderBy('comments_count', 'desc')->get();
