Laravel get certain column from Query builder

Question

I have a query as follows:

$locations = Location::select(DB::raw("* , 1000*distance AS distance"))
        ->whereIn("id", function ($q) use ($userLat, $distance, $userLng, $cityId)
        {
            $venues = $q->select('*')
                ->from('locations')
                ->where('city_id', $cityId)
                ->havingRaw("lat BETWEEN $userlat AND $userlat+10")
                ->havingRaw("lng BETWEEN $userLng AND $userlng+10")
                ->get();
         })
        ->havingRaw('distance <' . $distance)
        ->orderBy('distance')
        ->take($limit)
        ->get();  

I get Cardinality violation error which I know is because of nested query.
I need to get only id column from nested query but I can't.
I have tried using get(['id']) but it didn't work.
I even tried using array_map and returing sth like array_map(function ($venue){return $venue->id}, $venues); but I get the same error too.
How can I solve get only id column from query builder as an array. How can I pass

Answer 1

This is a just a guess, but your nested query function is not supposed to be executed by ->get() and you are not specifying the id column. Try this:

$locations = Location::select(DB::raw("* , 1000*distance AS distance"))
    ->whereIn("id", function ($q) use ($userLat, $distance, $userLng, $cityId)
    {
        $venues = $q->select('id')
            ->from('locations')
            ->where('city_id', $cityId)
            ->havingRaw("lat BETWEEN $userlat AND $userlat+10")
            ->havingRaw("lng BETWEEN $userLng AND $userlng+10")
            ;
     })
    ->havingRaw('distance <' . $distance)
    ->orderBy('distance')
    ->take($limit)
    ->get();

Edit: use query scope and calculated attributes

$lat = ''; // latitude
$lng = ''; // longitude

$distance = 5; // distance amount

$radius = compact('lat', 'lng', 'distance');

$targets = Location::withinRadius($radius)
    ->with('city')
    ->get()
    ->map(function ($value, $key) use ($lat, $lng) {
        return $value->target = [$lat, $lng];
    })
    ->filter(function ($value, $key) use ($distance) {
        return $value->distance < $distance;
    })
    ;
