Laravel 4.2 Multiple Query in date range - mysql

Question

I'm trying to get data for each date in range from 3 tables: Main table which is connected with 2 other tables using hasMany method.
Data stored as in example:
Main Table:
id | article title | url | created_at | updated_at |
----------------------------------------------------------------
14 | Some Title | www.example.com | TIMESTAMP | TIMESTAMP |
Views table (there is written count of views for each hour):
id | article_id | views | created_at | updated_at |
---------------------------------------------------
1 | 14 | 317 | TIMESTAMP | TIMESTAMP | (01:00:00)
2 | 14 | 186 | TIMESTAMP | TIMESTAMP | (02:00:00)
Clicks Table (there is written every click on this article):
id | article_id | ip_adress | created_at | updated_at |
---------------------------------------------------------
1 | 14 | 192.168.1.1 | TIMESTAMP | TIMESTAMP |
For example:
I need to get Articles from 01-02-2016 to 01-03-2016.
For every article I need to sum views and clicks for each day.
So in result i need to get something like this:
ID: 14, Title: Some Title, Views: 503, Clicks: 27
First, I wrote this code, but it makes lots of requests to database:
$dates = new DatePeriod($start, new DateInterval('P1D'), $stop);
foreach ($dates as $i => $date) {
$articles = Articles::with(['views' => function ($query) use ($date) {
$query->where('created_at', $date);
}, 'clicks' => function ($query) use ($date) {
$query->where('created_at', $date);
}])->get();
foreach ($articles as $article) {
foreach ($views->countOfViews as $i) {
// Code
}
foreach ($clicks->countOfClicks as $i) {
// Code
}
// Code
}
}
Then I found solution, to get exact same result as I'm getting in first example, but making only three requests:
$dates = new DatePeriod($start, new DateInterval('P1D'), $stop);
$articles = Articles::with(['views' => function ($query) use ($start, $stop) {
$query->whereBetween('created_at', array($start, $stop));
}, 'clicks' => function ($query) use ($start, $stop) {
$query->whereBetween('created_at', array($start, $stop));
}])->get();
foreach ($dates as $date) {
foreach ($articles as $article) {
foreach ($views->countOfViews as $i) if ($date->format('Y-m-d') === $i->created_at->toDateString()) {
// Code
}
foreach ($clicks->countOfClicks as $i) if ($date->format('Y-m-d') === $i->created_at->toDateString()) {
// Code
}
// Code
}
}
It solves problem with too many queries, but it takes to much time. Is it possible to do same thing faster?

Final Code:
$dates = new DatePeriod($start, new DateInterval('P1D'), $stop);
$articles = Articles::with(['views' => function ($query) use ($start, $stop) {
$query->whereBetween('created_at', array($start, $stop))
->groupBy('campaign_id', DB::raw('DATE(created_at)'))
->selectRaw('*, sum(views) as views');
}, 'clicks' => function ($query) use ($start, $stop) {
$query->whereBetween('created_at', array($start, $stop))
->groupBy('campaign_id', DB::raw('DATE(created_at)'))
->selectRaw('*, sum(clicks) as clicks');
}])->get();
foreach ($dates as $date) {
foreach ($articles as $article) {
foreach ($views->countOfViews as $i) if ($date->format('Y-m-d') === $i->created_at->toDateString()) {
// Code
}
foreach ($clicks->countOfClicks as $i) if ($date->format('Y-m-d') === $i->created_at->toDateString()) {
// Code
}
// Code
}
}
