Laravel Eloquent get results grouped by days
Solution 1
I believe I have found a solution to this, the key is the DATE() function in mysql, which converts a DateTime into just Date:
DB::table('page_views')
->select(DB::raw('DATE(created_at) as date'), DB::raw('count(*) as views'))
->groupBy('date')
->get();
However, this is not really an Laravel Eloquent solution, since this is a raw query.The following is what I came up with in Eloquent-ish syntax. The first where clause uses carbon dates to compare.
$visitorTraffic = PageView::where('created_at', '>=', \Carbon\Carbon::now->subMonth())
->groupBy('date')
->orderBy('date', 'DESC')
->get(array(
DB::raw('Date(created_at) as date'),
DB::raw('COUNT(*) as "views"')
));
Solution 2
You can use Carbon (integrated in Laravel)
// Carbon
use Carbon\Carbon;
$visitorTraffic = PageView::select('id', 'title', 'created_at')
->get()
->groupBy(function($date) {
return Carbon::parse($date->created_at)->format('Y'); // grouping by years
//return Carbon::parse($date->created_at)->format('m'); // grouping by months
});
Solution 3
Here is how I do it. A short example, but made my query much more manageable
$visitorTraffic = PageView::where('created_at', '>=', \Carbon\Carbon::now->subMonth())
->groupBy(DB::raw('Date(created_at)'))
->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC')->get();
Solution 4
You can filter the results based on formatted date using mysql (See here for Mysql/Mariadb help) and use something like this in laravel-5.4:
Model::selectRaw("COUNT(*) views, DATE_FORMAT(created_at, '%Y %m %e') date")
->groupBy('date')
->get();
Solution 5
Like most database problems, they should be solved by using the database.
Storing the data you want to group by and using indexes you can achieve an efficient and clear method to solve this problem.
Create the migration
$table->tinyInteger('activity_year')->unsigned()->index();
$table->smallInteger('activity_day_of_year')->unsigned()->index();
Update the Model
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use DB;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class PageView extends Model
{
public function scopePerDay($query){
$query->groupBy('activity_year');
$query->groupBy('activity_day_of_year');
return $query;
}
public function setUpdatedAt($value)
{
$date = Carbon::now();
$this->activity_year = (int)$date->format('y');
$this->activity_day_of_year = $date->dayOfYear;
return parent::setUpdatedAt($value);
}
Usage
$viewsPerDay = PageView::perDay()->get();

I currently have a table of
page_views
that records one row for each time a visitor accesses a page, recording the user's ip/id and the id of the page itself. I should add that thecreated_at
column is of type: timestamp, so it includes the hours/minutes/seconds. When I trygroupBy
queries, it does not group same days together because of the seconds difference.created_at page_id user_id ========== ======= ======= 10-11-2013 3 1 10-12 2013 5 5 10-13 2013 5 2 10-13 2013 3 4 ... ... ...
I'd like to get results based on views/day, so I can get something like:
date views ==== ===== 10-11-2013 15 10-12 2013 45 ... ...
I'm thinking I'll need to dig into
DB::raw()
queries to achieve this, but any insight would help greatly, thanksEdit: Added clarification of
created_at
format.
