Laravel eloquent get relation count

Question

I use Laravel 5.3.

I have 2 tables :

Articles
---------
id
cat_id
title

And

Category
---------
id
parent_id
title
         


        

Answer 1

Define a articles() relation in your Category model as:

public function articles() 
{
    return $this->hasMany(Article::class, 'cat_id');
}

Then you can try it as:

Category::where('parent_id', 0)->withCount('articles')->get();
