Laravel Eloquent groupBy() AND also return count of each group

Question

This is working for me:

$user_info = DB::table('usermetas')
                 ->select('browser', DB::raw('count(*) as total'))
                 ->groupBy('browser')
                 ->get();

This works for me (Laravel 5.1):

$user_info = Usermeta::groupBy('browser')->select('browser', DB::raw('count(*) as total'))->get();

Thanks Antonio,

I've just added the lists command at the end so it will only return one array with key and count:

Laravel 4

$user_info = DB::table('usermetas')
    ->select('browser', DB::raw('count(*) as total'))
    ->groupBy('browser')
    ->lists('total','browser');

Laravel 5.1

$user_info = DB::table('usermetas')
    ->select('browser', DB::raw('count(*) as total'))
    ->groupBy('browser')
    ->lists('total','browser')->all();

Laravel 5.2+

$user_info = DB::table('usermetas')
    ->select('browser', DB::raw('count(*) as total'))
    ->groupBy('browser')
    ->pluck('total','browser');

If you want to get collection, groupBy and count:

$collection = ModelName::groupBy('group_id')
->selectRaw('count(*) as total, group_id')
->get();

Cheers!

1. Open config/database.php
2. Find strict key inside mysql connection settings
3. Set the value to false
