How to Calculate the Sum of Tasks Belonging to a Project in Laravel

When working with a Laravel application, it’s common to have several relational models. One challenging task can be calculating the sum of all tasks belonging to a specific project. In this post, we’ll cover how to achieve this using the whereHas function without needing to set a direct relationship between tasks and projects.

Understanding the Problem

In our scenario, we have three key entities:

Task: Represents individual tasks with properties such as completion status and description.

Task List: A collection of tasks, which itself belongs to a project.

Project: The overarching entity to which task lists belong.

Database Structure

Let’s take a look at our database structure:

Solution Breakdown

To get the count of tasks associated with a specific project, we'll utilize the whereHas method from Eloquent. This allows us to filter queries based on related models.

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Eloquent Relationships

First, ensure the relationships are defined properly in your models.

2. Counting Tasks with whereHas

Now we can implement the count using a concise query.

Explanation of the Code

whereHas('list'): This filters tasks so that only those in lists belonging to the specified project are counted.

Nested Queries: The nested whereHas ensures we access the project through the task list to apply the right filters.

Count and Return: Finally, the count of the tasks is returned, which you can then display in your Project.vue component.

Conclusion

Using Eloquent's whereHas method in Laravel provides a clean and effective way to obtain related data counts, even when there are no direct relationships. This method is particularly useful in complex projects where multiple layers of relationships exist.

Feel free to implement this solution in your Laravel applications to streamline how you manage and display project-associated tasks!
