Laravel get posts have atleast one tag on each category of tags

Question

I want to list all posts have at least one tag on each category i selected. In our laravel app we have a Post and Tag model.

In Post model we have:

public function tags()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Tag::class, 'post_tags', 'post_id', 'tag_id');
}

What is query to select post have atleast one of {3,2} tags and atleast one of {8,10}?

I write this code:

$tags = ['news' => [3,2], 'alert' => [8,10]];

Post::whereHas('tags', function($query) use ($tags){
   foreach($tags as $category => $tag){
      $query->whereIn('tags.id', $tag);
   }
}

But result is nothing.

I need result as Post Eloquent and query performance is important.

larave version is 5.8.35

Answer 1

I would start here with a raw MySQL query which gets the job done. Then, build your Laravel script around that.

SELECT
    p.id,
    p.title
FROM posts p
INNER JOIN post_tags pt
    ON pt.post_id = p.id
GROUP BY
    p.id,
    p.title
HAVING
    SUM(pt.tag_id IN (2, 3)) > 0 AND
    SUM(pt.tag_id IN (8, 10)) > 0;

Your Laravel code:

$posts = DB::table('posts p')
    ->join('post_tags pt', 'pt.post_id', '=', 'p.id')
    ->groupBy('p.id', 'p.name')
    ->havingRaw('SUM(pt.tag_id IN (2, 3)) > 0 AND SUM(pt.tag_id IN (8, 10)) > 0')
    ->select('p.id', 'p.name')
    ->get();

I think you forgot to write get() method and also missing closing bracket.

Try with below query:

$posts = Post::whereHas('tags', function($query) use ($tags){
           foreach($tags as $category => $tag){
              $query->whereIn('tags.id', $tag);
           }
         })->get();
