How to get relationship counts without loading objects in laravel - php

Question

I have a model customer and it has many projects. I want to find projects count without including its object.
Customer model includes:
public function numberOfProjects()
{
return $this->hasMany(Project::class)->count();
}
Query in my controller:
$customers = Customer::where(['is_active'=>1])
->with(['customerContactInformation'=> function ($query) {
$query->where('is_active',1);
}, 'numberOfProjects'])
->skip($skip)->take(10)
->get();
Its giving me error:Call to a member function addEagerConstraints() on integer

Answer 1

Try this
Customer Model
public function numberOfProjects()
{
return $this->hasMany(Project::class);
}
Controller
$customers = Customer::where(['is_active'=>1])
->with(['customerContactInformation'=> function ($query) {
$query->where('is_active',1);
}])
->withCount('numberOfProjects') //you can get count using this
->skip($skip)
->take(10)
->get();
That should be work
$customers = Customer::withCount('numberOfProjects')->get();
WithCount on the particular status
$customers = Customer::withCount([
'numberOfProjects',
'numberOfProjects as approved_count' => function ($query) {
$query->where('approved', true);
}
])
->get();

Answer 2

class Tutorial extends Model
{
function chapters()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Chapter');
}
function videos()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Video', 'App\Chapter');
}
}
And then you can do:
Tutorial::withCount(['chapters', 'videos'])
Counting Related Models
If you want to count the number of results from a relationship without actually loading them you may use the withCount method, which will place a {relation}_count column on your resulting models. For example:
$posts = App\Post::withCount('comments')->get();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
echo $post->comments_count;
}
You may add the "counts" for multiple relations as well as add constraints to the queries:
$posts = App\Post::withCount(['votes', 'comments' => function ($query) {
$query->where('content', 'like', 'foo%');
}])->get();
echo $posts[0]->votes_count;
echo $posts[0]->comments_count;
You may also alias the relationship count result, allowing multiple counts on the same relationship:
$posts = App\Post::withCount([
'comments',
'comments as pending_comments_count' => function ($query) {
$query->where('approved', false);
}
])->get();
echo $posts[0]->comments_count;
echo $posts[0]->pending_comments_count;
If you're combining withCount with a select statement, ensure that you call withCount after the select method:
$posts = App\Post::select(['title', 'body'])->withCount('comments');
echo $posts[0]->title;
echo $posts[0]->body;
echo $posts[0]->comments_count;
