I have multiple models, all with timestamps. I'm often using whereDate to get all rows from today and yesterday, like this:
ModelName::whereDate('created_at', now()->today())->get();
ModelName::whereDate('created_at', now()->yesterday())->get();
I want to have it shorter, simplier, like:
ModelName::today()->get();
ModelName::yesterday()->get();
I can not find any methods to do this, so I found in documentation that I can make own "scopes". The problem is, that I can make it for specified model, but I can not find a way to make it globally, for all models. Now I need to paste this scope methods in every model class. This works, but I need to repeat this code in every model class, so it's not a good way to do this I'm sure.
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class ModelName extends Model
{
/**
* Custom scope (query builder method) to easy return all items from today
*
* @param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder $query
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
*/
public function scopeToday($query)
{
return $query->whereDate('created_at', now()->today());
}
/**
* Custom scope (query builder method) to easy return all items from yesterday
*
* @param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder $query
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
*/
public function scopeYesterday($query)
{
return $query->whereDate('created_at', now()->yesterday());
}
}
