I'm using Eloquent to talk to my MySql database. I have a table of teams
that has a many-to-many relationship with tasks
via tasks_teams
. tasks
has a column called points
. When teams complete tasks, they earn points.
I want to give the Team object a method to return the total points that team has earned. The SQL for this query is this:
SELECT SUM(points) FROM tasks_teams, tasks WHERE
team_id = 1
AND tasks_teams.task_id = tasks.id;
This is my Team
model:
class Team extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
protected $table = 'teams';
public function tasks () {
return $this->belongsToMany( 'Task', 'tasks_teams');
}
}
I want to add this method to Team
, but it doesn't work:
public function points() {
return $this->tasks->sum('points');
}
but I get this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Collection::sum() in [...]/Models/Team.php on line 19
What am I getting wrong here?
Found a potential hint at the Laravel Forums (thanks bobodan!), tried it and it worked.
My solution:
public function points() {
return $this->belongsToMany( 'Task', 'tasks_teams' )->sum('points');
}
