I am currently creating an API to display the count of documents by types.
This is my type table:
| id | name |
|---|---|
| 1 | abc |
| 2 | bcd |
| 3 | efd |
And this is my documents tables:
| id | document_name | type_id |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | abc | 1 |
| 2 | bcd | 2 |
| 3 | efd | 3 |
I want to return my Resource like this:
'title' => 'Title',
'types' => [
[
'label' => 'abc',
'total' => 1
],
[
'label' => 'bcd',
'total' => 2
],
[
'label' => 'efd',
'total' => 3
]
]
How can I create a custom resource with looping?
You could create a resource that works for a single object, then use resource collection for the types to loop over the documents.
