Is there a way to convert mysql to laravel eloquent query builder? - php

Question

I want to obtain the first_check_in and last_check_out of an employee for the current day. The following MySQL code is working good but I am new to eloquent and I do not know how to write it. sorry for my English.
SELECT `employees`.`*`,
`teams`.`description`,
`time_groups`.`start`,
`time_groups`.`end`,
cast(a1.action_time as date) AS date,
Min(`a1`.`action_time`) AS `first_check_in`,
MAX(`a2`.`action_time`) AS `last_check_out`
FROM `employees`
JOIN `teams`
ON `employees`.`team_id` = `teams`.`id`
JOIN `time_groups`
ON `teams`.`time_group_id` = `time_groups`.`id`
JOIN `attendance_employees` AS a1
JOIN `attendance_employees` AS a2
ON `employees`.`id` = `a2`.`employee_id`
AND `a1`.`employee_id` = `a2`.`employee_id`
AND DATE(a1.action_time) = DATE(a2.action_time)
WHERE 1 = 1
AND `a1`.`type` = 1
AND `a2`.`type` = 2
AND DATE(a1.action_time) = CURDATE()
GROUP BY a1.employee_id, `date`
I have try sometime like that
DB::table('employees')
->join('teams', 'employees.team_id', '=', 'teams.id')
->join('time_groups', 'teams.time_group_id', '=', 'time_groups.id')
->join('attendance_employees as a1')
->join('attendance_employees as a2',
function($join) {
$join->on('employees.id', '=', 'a2.employee_id');
$join->on('a1.employee_id', '=', 'a2.employee_id');
$join->on('DATE(a1.action_time)', '=', 'DATE(a2.action_time)');
}
)
->select(
'employees.*',
'teams.description',
'time_groups.start',
'time_groups.end'
)
->addSelect('cast(A1.action_time as date)')->alias('date')
->addSelect('a1.action_time')->alias('check_in')
->addSelect('a2.action_time')->alias('check_out')
->where(1,1)
->where('a1.type', 1)
->where('a2.type', 2)
->groupBy('employee_id')
->groupBy('date')
But getting the following error:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table
'db.attendance_employees as a1' doesn't exist
