How to get today's all orders by restaurant in laravel? - mysql

Question

I'm trying to get today's orders by a restaurant. Here is my table structure
restaurants
id - integer
name - string
categories
id - integer
restaurant_id- foreign
name - string
items
id - integer
category_id - foreign
name - string
orders
id - integer
amonut- double
order_items (pivot table)
id - integer
order_id - foreign
item_id - foreign
Here is my restaurant model
public function restaurant_categories() {
return $this->hasMany(Category::class, 'restaurant_id')->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC');
}
public function restaurant_items() {
return $this->hasManyThrough(Item::class, Category::class, 'restaurant_id', 'category_id')->with('category', 'item_assets')->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC');
}
Here is my Item model
public function orders(){
return $this->belongsToMany(Order::class,'order_items','item_id', 'order_id' )
->withPivot('quantity','price');
}
By this code, I get specific restaurant's all orders
$restaurant = Restaurant::with('restaurant_items')->find($id);
$orders = [];
foreach ($restaurant->restaurant_items as $item) {
$orders[] = $item->orders;
}
But now, How & where can I add where condition to get only today's order? and also if I want to get specific date's orders then what to do?L

Answer 1

For Laravel 5.6+ version, you can just have to add whereDate() condition
$restaurant = Restaurant::with('restaurant_items')
->whereDate('created_at', Carbon::today())->get();
Or you can also use whereRaw()
$restaurant = Restaurant::with('restaurant_items')
->whereRaw('Date(created_at) = CURDATE()')->get();
