couldn't get data using laravel eloquent - php

Question

What I want is that when a user visits this link /api/bonus?provider[]=MyCompany
the result will show only bonus provided by providers=[MyCompany].
In my controller:
public function all(Request $request)
{
$size = $request->input('size');
$bonus = Bonus::with('category', 'bonus');
$bonus = Filterer::apply($request, $size, $bonus);
$bonus = Filterer::apply($request, $size, $bonus);
return response()->json([
'code' => 0,
'success' => true,
'data' => BonusResource::collection($bonus),
}
My expected result is to get all the providers that equal the [MyCompany]
But somehow this query doesn't work.
Filterer
public static function apply(Request $filters, $size, $bonus)
{
if ($filters->has('provider')) {
$bonus->whereHas('bonus', function ($query) use ($filters) {
$query->whereIn('providers', $filters->input('provider',[]));
});
}
return $bonus->paginate($size);
}
but at the end I'm getting this result. The data is null [].
I'm wonder why I can't get the data. Which part I had done wrong?

Answer 1

To actually get results you should use some function that gets data from database, for example get, first (depends whether you want to get multiple rows or only first row). Now you only prepare query that should be executed but you never execute it, so yo should change line:
$bonus = Filterer::apply($request, $size, $bonus);
into
$bonus = Filterer::apply($request, $size, $bonus);
$bonus = $bonus->get();
to execute query and get results.

Answer 2

I might be wrong, but based on your code, the function apply didn't return anything, it will always empty. Shouldn't it be return $bonus? and don't forget the get.
public static function apply(Request $filters, $size, $bonus)
{
if ($filters->has('provider')) {
$bonus->whereHas('bonusRelease', function ($bonus) use ($filters) {
return $bonus->whereJsonContains('providers', $filters->input('provider',[]));
});
}
return $bonus->get();
}
Updated my answer
The providers is a json type. You can't just query it with where in (a,b,c). Change to whereJsonContains. Please check this link another case and laravel docs.

First, convert the input into array, here I'm using explode()
and then I loop the converted array and use %% to search the providers. Hope it will help!
if ($filters->has('provider') && trim($filters->input('provider')) != "") {
$bonus_list->whereHas('bonusCompany', function ($query) use ($filters) {
$providers = explode(',', (trim($filters->input('provider'), '[]')));
foreach ($providers as $key => $provider) {
if ($key == 0) {
$query->where('providers', 'LIKE', ['%' . trim($provider) . '%']);
} else {
$query->orwhere('providers', 'LIKE', ['%' . trim($provider) . '%']);
}
}
});
};
