I am trying to create a chart from my MySQL db for use in Laravel.
To test the chart, I put in an array like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and it works perfectly. But when I try to grab data from my db, it doesn't work. I have a db with the following fields:
id
project
stage
status
timestamps
What I am trying to show in my chart are the number of projects in each stage. So the stages are:
Waiting to Start
In Progress
Waiting for Information
Pre-Launch
Launched
My query is the following:
$total = Project::all()->groupBy('stage')->count('stage');
That does not work. I've tried a couple other queries but not sure how to get the number of projects in each stage and output that to an array.
Thank you for your help.
