Using Multidimensional array in Laravel 8 Blade - php

Question

I am trying to get a status count of some processes and tasks just like a to-do list tasks count.
My current database look like this SQL Database Structure
+----+---------+------------+-------------+---------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| id | user_id | list_id | name | records | status | created_at | updated_at |
+----+---------+------------+-------------+---------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| 1 | 1 | 8Kwvf8ikcV | 10 mails | 19 | On-Hold | 2021-03-11 07:56:17 | 2021-03-11 07:56:17 |
| 2 | 1 | a0pJRv4Zfc | temp_emails | 884 | On-Hold | 2021-03-11 08:02:13 | 2021-03-11 08:02:13 |
| 3 | 1 | xrgZZkrLFA | 10 mails | 19 | Processing | 2021-03-11 08:06:37 | 2021-03-11 08:06:37 |
| 4 | 1 | lDOX8p2sgU | 10 mails | 19 | Completed | 2021-03-11 08:53:51 | 2021-03-11 08:53:51 |
+----+---------+------------+-------------+---------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+
I am using
return $listStats = ListName::select([
DB::raw("status"),
DB::raw("COUNT(status) as count")
])->where('user_id', Auth::id())
->groupBy('status')
->get();
Query to get the database and its count.
Current laravel out put is showing as
[{"status":"Completed","count":1},{"status":"On-Hold","count":2},{"status":"Processing","count":1}]
My question is how can I get the count of completed status without using foreach loop?
Do I need to change my query? or can I simply use $listStats['Completed']['count'] ?

Answer 1

A foreach will be run at some point unless you use a join in the query to give an order and force a result with all possible status.
One easy solution would be
$StatCount[ //make sure to list all possible statuses here
"Completed" => 0,
"Processing" => 0,
"On-Hold" => 0,
];
foreach ($listStats as $listStat) {
$StatCount[$listStat->status] = $listStat->count
}
Now you can access your status counts like this $statCount['Completed']

Answer 2

Counting is a pretty lightweight job and it can be done on the fly easily. Instead of creating an extra query to count the records, collect the records and count them in Blade. It's a better idea because you will fetch the tasks anyway and no need to query them twice.
// In controller
$user = User::where('id', Auth::id())->with(['tasks' => function($query) {
$query->groupBy('status')
}])->get();
return view('viewName')->with(['user', $user]);
// In Blade
$user->tasks->Completed->count();
