I have a Digital Ocean space and I try to run getSize() on a directory but it returns false. When I run it on a file it does return the size.

Is there no way to get the size of a directory instead of a file?

Hi my server logs this error: Failed to parse dotenv file due to an invalid name.

The env file looks completely normal I don't understand why it's not parsing the .env file correctly. Any help?

@STAUDENMEIR - The database of the model's relationship.

Imagine Post being the main model and Comment being the relationship. Comment has a 'likes' attributie and I'm trying to sum all the Comments' likes of a certain Post. (This is just a stupid example)

@STAUDENMEIR -

Model::WithSum()->get();

One of my models has a relationship with another model and I want to put the sum of one of it's values in a scope so I can call it conditionally.

Right now I have the following code.

public function scopeWithSum ($query)
{
    return $query->with('relationship')->sum('column');
}

It gives the error in the title. Amy help is appreciated.

@JLRDW - Could you give me an example of this? I tried to put the same logic into a Scope but it gives me the following error:

Call to a member function addEagerConstraints() on integer

@JLRDW - I haven't looked at scopes yet but that looks like a great solution. Thank you a lot!

The reason I didn't post my model is because most of the code is irrelevant for this question. I'll give a simple example.

protected $appends = [
        'sum',
];

getSumAttribute() {
    $sum = 0;
    foreach ($model->relation as $relation) {
        $sum += $relation->value;
    }
    return $this->attributes['sum'] = $sum;
}

This 'sum' attribute is only required on some pages (and thus on some queries), but it gets called on every query and ends up in every query result.

Hi,

I got a few accessors defined in my Model that take some time (they sum certain values of a relationship). It's not that bad but I only want these accessors called conditionally (when I need those values).

It makes all my queries rather slow and I only need the accessor values on certain queries.

How can I conditionally call the accessors so they don't slow down queries they don't need to?

@CRONIX - Thanks I will try that.

But no you actually need 3 because (at least in my country) someone could be named Daniel van der Plas (and it should be filtered on Plas not on van der.

@CRONIX - Yes I've thought about doing that but that would require 3 columns in the database instead of 1.

How would you do the splitting that you were talking about? I'd like to try it anyways, the last word that starts with a capital letter is the word that should be sorted on in any case. Which should be do-able.

Thanks regardless.

Hi,

I'm trying to order users on their last name instead of their surname, which is the default behavior.

What I have so far is this. I'm pretty sure I have to use a closure on the orderby method, I just don't know exactly how.

User::orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();

The following output:

Alexander Putin

George Bush

Should become:

George Bush

Alexander Putin

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

My app has a template (App.vue) but I don't want the log in screen to be a different template (Login.vue)

So I figured I should use a closure on the render property like this:

    render: function (app) {
        if (authenticated) { // or whatever
            return app(App);
        } else {
            return app(Login);
        }
    }

So when a user logs in on the Login component, authenticated becomes true and it should render the components in the App.vue template and not the Login.vue template. It only works if I manually refresh the page.

Is there a way to call the Vue instance in my app.js from my Login component so I can manually rerender the vue instance so it renders with the proper template? Or is there a better way to go around this?

I really don't want to put a v-if="authenticated" and v-else in my App.vue template, I'm sure there is a better way.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, as the title says the <router-link to="/users"></router-link> only has the active link class when it's on /users/ and when i push to /users/show/1 using:

            showRecord(id) {
                this.$router.push(`/users/show/${id}`)
            },

It goes to /users/show/1 but the <router-link> doesn't have the active class anymore.

Here is the code for the router-link:

<router-link to="/users" class="aw-menu-link">Users</router-link>

I'm not using the exact property by the way.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,

I can upload files to my digital ocean running the following code:

Storage::disk('do_spaces')->putFileAs(
                $folder->slug . '/original', $file, $filename, 'public'
            );

However, when I try to delete it with the following code, it doesn't do anything.

Storage::disk('do_spaces')->delete($file->folder->slug . '/original/' . $file->name);

Anyone has any idea why this codeline doesn't delete the file? Thanks in advance.

@CRONIX - hi, thanks for your answer. How do I import jQuery? I want to use this datatable function because I it's included in my template and I really like it.

@SFZ0311 - Hi, thanks for your answer. I've imported the function like this

import mDatatable from '../assets/scripts.bundle.js';

Which should work I think. However, it gives the following error:

TypeError: (intermediate value)(intermediate value).block is not a function

I tried when having the routes as single words (/dashboard, /users, etc.). The datatables loaded, but when I added /admin in front of the routes in app.js, the datatables stopped loading.

The weird thing however is that I get this error in both cases.

Hi, I have a Vue component which has to call a function that is defined in a script outside the component.

Outside the component I can call it by doing something like this:

$('#m_datatable_users').mDatatable(options);

This works fine, but when I try to call this function in the mounted() of my Vue component, it gives the following error:

$(...).mDatatable is not a function

How can I call this function that is defined outside the component, inside the component?

Thanks.

Yes I agree, that is what I used to have but now I want to give an admin access to updating other users, so that no longer works.

Hi I got a form that looks like this (fields are removed).

<form action="{{ route('users.update', Auth::user()->id) }}" method="POST">
                    {{ csrf_field() }}
                    {{ method_field('PATCH') }}
</form>

And a route that looks like this:

Route::patch('/users/{$id}', '[email protected]')->name('users.update');

However, when I submit the form, I get a 404 error. Even though the controller method called update is suposed to return the request.

What am I missing?

@tykus I defined $this->order_id as $request->order_id. It seems to work now, must've made some spell error. Thanks anyways!

Hi,

I've created a custom Rule but it's not letting me pass one of the $request parameters into the validate method.

Here is the code:

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {

    $this->order_id = $request->order_id;
        $request->validate( [
            'price' => [
                'required', new BidIsLowEnough($this->order_id),
            ],
        ]);
    }

If I replace $this->order_id with an integer as a parameter for BidIsLowEnough everything works fine.

Thanks in advance.

@crnkovic Thank you. And how can I use that on a collection?

If I do this

WatchResource::collection(Watch::all()->toArray())

I get the following error:

Call to a member function first() on array

I want to loop through the attributes of this watch but it doesn't give me the desired output.

$watch = Watch::find(1);
foreach ($watch as $property => $value) {
    $properties[$property] = $value;
}
return $properties;

This is the output I get:

{
incrementing: true,
exists: true,
wasRecentlyCreated: false,
timestamps: true
}

But I want all the attributes of the watch stored in the properties variable. Is there anything I'm missing? A desired output would be something like this:

{
id: 1,
price: 2399.99,
....
}
