i’m looking for a solution to a problem that I’m having for a while now. Maybe you can inspire me to do this better. I’m trying not to make a basic mistake in the planning process therefore I’m asking you for advice.
I’m having a Contact::model which has few fixed attributes like id etc. Additionally I would like to have different attributes created dynamically for the whole Contact::model. Some user will be given the functionality to add attributes like name, email, address to the whole model. I’ve dropped the idea of programmatically updating the table itself by creating/dropping columns (this would introduce different problems). As for now i've created two additional tables. One with the additional column names [Columns::model] and a pivot table to assign the value to a Contact::model and Column::model.
To list all contacts i’m preparing the ContactColumn table as array where the first key is the contact_id and the second is the column_id, therefore i get the value. This introduces the n+1 issue. This would not be that bad, but with this approach it will be extremely hard (or resource consuming) to order the contacts by dynamic column values, filtering, searching etc.
Can you somehow guide me to a better solution. How can i merge the contact collection with the values for given columns so it looks like it was a fixed table?
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Fixed columns [i.e. ID]</th>
#foreach ($columns as $column)
<th>{{ $column->name }}</th>
#endforeach
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach ($contacts as $contact)
<tr>
<td>{{ $contact->id }}</td>
#foreach ($columns as $column)
<td>
#if (array_key_exists($column->id, $values[$contact->id]))
{{ $values[$contact->id][$column->id] }}
#endif
</td>
#endforeach
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
And the $value array.
foreach (ColumnContact::all() as $pivot) {
$values[$pivot->contact_id][$pivot->column_id] = $pivot->value;
}
return $values;
Edit: I've solved it like this
$this->contacts = Contact::when($this->dynamicColumnName, function($query) {
$query->join('column_contact', function ($join) {
$join->on('id', '=', 'column_contact.contact_id')
->where('column_contact.column_id', '=', $this->dynamicColumnName->id);
})
->orderBy('value', $this->orderingDirection);
})
(...)
->paginate(self::PER_PAGE);
Apart from the fixed fields, add an extra JSON field in your schema called 'custom_fields'. Have a look into => https://github.com/stancl/virtualcolumn
Separate table for custom fields is not a good idea because then you have to handle model events separately and so on.
I have a collection which I have extracted from the database using the findMany method in eloquent.
When I dd the collection it looks like the attached image. And then I am trying to (in my blade) loop through each item in the array such that I am able to print each of the values in the actual records.
$question = Question::whereIn('id', [23,25])->get();
Then in my blade I am trying to do:
#foreach ($question as $row => $innerArray)
#foreach ($innerArray as $innerRow => $value)
{{$value->question}} //I was expecting "What is your favourite food" here
#foreach ($value->option as $choice)
<li>{{$choice}}</li> //I was expecting the list of the options here
#endforeach
#endforeach
#endforeach
What am I doing wrong?
All multi-result sets returned by Eloquent are instances of the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection object, including results retrieved via the get method or accessed via a relationship. The Eloquent collection object extends the Laravel base collection, so it naturally inherits dozens of methods used to fluently work with the underlying array of Eloquent models.
All collections also serve as iterators, allowing you to loop over them as if they were simple PHP arrays:
$questions = Question::whereIn('id', [23, 25, ..])->get();
foreach ($questions as $question) {
echo $question->title; // What is your favourite food
echo $question->name; // food
foreach ($question->options as $option) {
echo $option; // Pizza
}
}
The correct syntax is this:
#foreach ($question as $q)
{{ $q->question }} //I was expecting "What is your favourite food" here
#foreach ($q->options as $choice)
<li>{{$choice}}</li> //I was expecting the list of the options here
#endforeach
#endforeach
I have a query which show information from two tables in foreach loop on my blade view. This is the controller
public function details( $id ){
$details = Item::find($id)->report;
return view('details', compact('details'));
}
On my view I have
#foreach($details as $itemDetails)
....
#endforeach
Is it possible to show before foreach single variable from this query like?
{{ $details->id }}
#foreach($details as $itemDetails)
....
#endforeach
I want to get the $id.
Yes you can, try this:
$details[0]->id;
Try to understand the concept, every time you use model to get some data it returns an array of object like:
array(
0 => stdClass Object,
1 => stdClass Object,
and so on
)
So to access the data we use foreach() loop or you can directly call the index as done above.
But if you are calling index directly then put a check for its existence using isset()
I need to check for a name in an array of names but I having trouble passing an array instead of a collection to the in_array() method.
My blade code looks something like this
#foreach($ecn->areas as $area)
{{ $area->area }}:<br>
<ul>
#foreach($area->people as $person)
#if(in_array($person, $ecn->signatures->name ))
<li><del>{{ $person }}</del></li>
#else
<li>{{ $person }}</li>
#endif
#endforeach
</ul>
#endforeach
I know my problem is in the way im trying to access the list of signatures.
#if(in_array($person, $ecn->signatures->name ))
I can access them in another part of the page doing this
#foreach($ecn->signatures as $signature)
{{ $signature->name }}<br>
#endforeach
and everything is fine.
How can I access and pass the list of signatures as an array in this scenario?
If you want to use in_array() version for Laravel Collections then you can use:
$collection->contains($needle)
It woks just like in_array.
If $needle is an integer, an id for example, don't forget to pluck first, like so:
$collection->pluck('id')->contains($needle)
You can use the lists or pluck method on the signatures collection to get a new collection of all the names. From there, you can either use the contains() method on the collection, or you can use the all() method to turn the collection into an array and use in_array directly.
I would suggest doing this outside of the foreach loop, so you're not generating this new collection and array every iteration.
Array:
// controller
$names = $ecn->signatures->lists('name')->all();
// blade
#if(in_array($person, $names))
Collection:
// controller
$names = $ecn->signatures->lists('name');
// blade
#if($names->contains($person))
You can also use contains() with a closure, which would let you get away with not creating an intermediate collection, but it's a little harder to read:
Contains with closure:
// blade
#if($ecn->signatures->contains(function ($key, $value) use ($person) {
return $value->name == $person;
}))
As per Laravel Docs
The get method returns an array of results where each result is an instance of the PHP StdClass object.
So you must convert your stdClass object to a array in your controller itself.
foreach ($ecn->signatures as $signature)
$nameArray[] = $signature->name;
and then you can use in_array in the blade template
#if(in_array($person, $nameArray))
Good afternoon

When I use the following foreach I show the information
#foreach ($subastas as $subasta)
{{$subasta}}
#endforeach
Now I try to use the following code
#foreach ($subastas as $subasta)
#foreach ($subasta->subastas as $sub)
{{$sub}}
#endforeach
#endforeach
And I recieve this error
Trying to get property of non-object (View: C:\xampp3\htdocs\laravel\resources\views\prodcercanos.blade.php)
Any solution for this problem ?
The question is , how I can render the json in laravel ?
The controller to recieve the JSON
public function productoscercanos ($lat,$long){
$subastas = Subasta::all();
$categorias = Categoria::all();
$provincias = Provincia::all();
$cercanos = User::with(array('municipio', 'subastas'))->get();
$coordA = Geotools::coordinate([$lat,$long]);
$output = [];
foreach ($cercanos as $p) {
if(count($p->subastas)>0){
$coordB = Geotools::coordinate([$p->municipio->latitud,$p->municipio->longitud]);
$distance = Geotools::distance()->setFrom($coordA)->setTo($coordB);
$dis = $distance->in('km')->haversine();
$output[$dis] = $p."<p>$dis</p>";
}
}
ksort($output);
return view('prodcercanos')->with('categorias',$categorias)->with('provincias',$provincias)->with('subastas',$output);
}
$json = (your json file);
$subasta = json_decode($json);
then you should be able to use the json as a object now.
Try array syntax in the second foreach loop.
#foreach ($subasta['subastas'] as $sub)
{{$sub}}
#endforeach
Your code is outputting exactly what is defined. First look at how the controller is building the array.
$output[$dis] = $p."<p>$dis</p>";
$p is a User model from the variable $cercanos, appending it to $dis results in it being converted into JSON and added to your output array which your view iterates and outputs.
It looks like you are trying to add the distance to the user and pass it on.
Instead use an Accessor & Mutator to add an extra attribute to your model then pass on the $cercanos list to the view, from there you can render using a for each and grab the value.
#foreach($cercanos as $c)
{{ $c->username }} {{ $c->dis }}
#endforeach
Update
Once you have added your accessor and mutator you will be able to sort using Collections built in method.
$cercanos->sortBy('dis');
