Counting total posts by a user in the blade view

Question

I have sent a collection of all posts in my blog to my index view and then used the following code to count the total posts made by each user.

Answer 1

Yes it is bad.

You could use relationships if have the user_id field in posts table

class User extends Model
{
  public function posts()
  {
     return $this->hasMany('App\Post');
  }
}

In controller

return view('sth')->with(['posts'=>$user->posts]);

Then in view

$posts->count();

Or just getting counts if you don't need posts

$postCount = $user->posts()->count();
