How to execute aggregate in mongodb in laravel framework

Question

I need to get result of following query in laravel frame work (used jenssegers library)

db.product.aggregate({ $group : {_id : \"$catid\", total : { $su         


        

Answer 1

You can access the aggregate method on the Jenssegers library via the raw() function.

Here is a sample of a working random aggregate call that I use, you can adapt it to your needs:

//Perform an aggregate function and get a cursor
$cursor = Data::raw()->aggregate([
    ['$group' =>
        ['_id' => '$name', 'count' => ['$sum' => 1]]
    ],
    ['$sort' => ['count' => -1]],
    ['$limit' => 30],
    ['$project' => ['_id' => 0,
                   'text' => '$_id',
                   'size' => '$count',
                   ]
    ],
]);

//Iterate your cursor
$current = $cursor;
do {
    echo $current; //Process each element
} while (!($current = $cursor->next()));

Note that using the raw() method requires using a cursor because it is a low-level call.

Hope it helps.

try something like this

db.product.aggregate(
     { "$group" : 
        { "_id" : "$catid", 
          "total" : { "$sum" : 1}
        }
     },
     { "$sort" : {"productid":-1} }
);
