Laravel whereHas count on Many-to-Many relationship - php

Question

In my current project, a User may join many Organisations and vice versa - An example of a many to many relationship. I'm trying to count the number of users who are currently unverified (where the Verified column on the user table is equal to 0).
My User model:
/**
* Get the organisations that the user is a part of.
*/
public function organisation()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(
Organisation::class, 'organisation_users', 'user_id', 'organisation_id'
)->withPivot(['role'])->orderBy('name', 'asc');
}
My Organisation model:
/**
* Get all of the users that belong to the organisation.
*/
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(
User::class, 'organisation_users', 'organisation_id', 'user_id'
)->withPivot('role');
}
So if I want to count the number of unverified users I have the following method on the Organisation model:
/**
* An organisation may have unverified users attached.
*/
public function unverifiedUsers()
{
return $this->whereHas('users', function($query) {
$query->where('verified', 0);
})->get();
}
However, running dd(\App\Organisation::find($org->id)->unverifiedUsers()->count()); only shows 1 when in fact there should be 10. Am I structuring my relationships incorrectly?

Answer 1

whereHas() will return 0 or 1. It just tells you if such a user exists.
The sollution is much simpler:
public function unverifiedUsers()
{
return $this->users()->where('verified', 0)->get();
}
If you only need the count:
public function unverifiedUsersCount()
{
return $this->users()->where('verified', 0)->count();
}
