I have two different objects with different columns in DB. Since I need to show both of those objects on timeline, I wanted to merge them and sort by date. Date column is not called the same so I am adding it within for loop.
public function index()
{
$users = array_slice(WPUser::orderBy('id', 'desc')->get()->toArray(), 0, 20);
// count = 80
$comments = WPComment::with('recipe')->orderBy('comment_date', 'desc')->get()->toArray();
foreach ($comments as &$comment) {
$comment['date_time'] = $comment['comment_date'];
}
// count = 241
$favorites = WPFavorite::with('user', 'recipe')->orderBy('date_time', 'desc')->get()->toArray();
// count = 321
$mergedArray = array_merge_recursive($comments, $favorites);
$mergedArray = collect($mergedArray);
$mergedArray = $mergedArray->sortByDesc('date_time');
$mergedArray = $mergedArray->groupBy('date_time');
return $mergedArray;
//return view('dashboard.index', compact('users', 'mergedArray'));
}
The problem is that I can't get what I want. If I leave dates to be of default Carbon format, they seem to sort fine, but they will not group by day of course because of different h:m:s. If I however change that in both models:
public function getDateTimeAttribute($date)
{
return Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date)->format('d.m.Y.');
}
I am not getting it sorted right...
I tried by grouping the objects before even converting them to array which then gives me back sorted arrays, but such that I have first object sorted, and then merged to it below second object...
If I have both Comment and Favorite posted on same date (for example today), I want them both on top of my JSON file under '02.09.2016'
