Laravel Eloquent Model 使用 select 计数（列）

Question

I just want to use the following raw DB query with Laravel Eloquent model.

SELECT
  <column_name>,
  COUNT(<column_name>) AS `value_occurrence` 

FROM
  <my_table>

GROUP BY 
  <column_name>

ORDER BY 
  `value_occurrence` DESC

LIMIT 1;

Let's say I have a model called TestModel . I just would like to do something like the following.

TestModel::select('column_name', 'COUNT(column_name) AS occurrences')
           ->groupBy('column_name')
           ->orderBy('occurences')
           ->limit(10)
           ->get();

Can you help me please? Thanks...

Answer 1

I just found out that I can use selectRaw to use Count(column_name) in the code however, if there is any better way of doing it, I would like to see it. Thanks...

The answer:

TestModel::selectRaw('column_name, COUNT(column_name) AS occurrences')
           ->groupBy('column_name')
           ->orderBy('occurences')
           ->limit(10)
           ->get();
