I have a collection like
$collection = collect([
[
["studentId" => 3, "marks" => 10],
["studentId" => 7, "marks" => 15]
],
[
["studentId" => 3, "marks" => 20],
["studentId" => 7, "marks" => 15]
],
[
["studentId" => 3, "marks" => 10],
["studentId" => 7, "marks" => 20]
],
]);
I want to sum up marks
for specific studentId
and map the results like
[
["studentId" => 3, "marks" => 40],
["studentId" => 7, "marks" => 50],
]
Thanks 🙏
This is untested but you can probably do something like...
$collection = collect([
[
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15]
],
[
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 20],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15]
],
[
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 20]
],
]);
$collection = $collection
->flatten(1)
->groupBy('studentId')
->transform(function($subItems, $studentId) {
return [
'studentId' => $studentId,
'marks' => $subItems->sum('marks')
];
})
->values();
What this does is...
1. Flatten the array
First we flatten the collection by 1 depth using the flatten
method. Resulting structure...
[
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15],
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 20],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15],
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 20]
]
2. Group values by
Next we group all the values by the studentId using the groupBy
method. Result...
[
3 => [
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10],
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 20],
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 10]
],
7 => [
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 15],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 20]
]
]
3. Sum the marks
Now we calculate the groups of marks with the transform
method. Result...
[
3 => ['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 40],
7 => ['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 50]
]
4. Reset keys (optional)
You'll notice in the last result that the top level array keys are the same as the studentId values this is left over from the groupBy method. We can reset these with the values
method. Result...
[
['studentId' => 3, 'marks' => 40],
['studentId' => 7, 'marks' => 50]
]
