MongoDB Raw query to select documents which are in given datetime period - mongodb

Question

I want to select documents which are in user given date time period like between :
$from_date : "2017-01-07 09:08:59" To `$to_date : "2017-08-09 09:08:59"`
I'm using laravel framework and jenssegers/laravel-mongodb mongodb driver to run my query, And this is my Raw query :
$normal_banners = BannerView::raw(function ($collection) use ($id, $from_date, $to_date) {
$conditions = [
["camp_id" => ['$eq' => $id]],
['$or' => [
['seat_target_status' => ['$eq' => true]],
['seat_target_status' => ['$eq' => false]]
]],
['camp_target_status' => ['$eq' => false]],
];
if ($from_date) {
$conditions[] = ['created_at' => ['$gte' => $from_date]];
}
return $collection->aggregate([
['$match' => ['$and' => $conditions]],
]);
})->count();
But my problem is that it returns 0 as result; while there are 16 documents in this time period.
I've tried this method to get the count of them but still 0 result :
$normal_banners = BannerView::Where('camp_id', $id)
->where(function ($query) {$query->where('seat_target_status', true)->orWhere('seat_target_status', false);
})
->where('camp_target_status', false)
->where("created_at", ">=", $from_date)
->count();
FYI : I've converted datetime of input to ISODate Which is the mongodb datatype for created_at field.
$Fromdatetime = $request->input('from_date');
$from_date = new DateTime($Fromdatetime);
$from_date = $from_date->format(DateTime::ISO8601);
mongodb field data type is :
"updated_at": ISODate("2017-04-10T09:35:58.641Z"),
"created_at": ISODate("2017-04-10T09:35:58.641Z")
My input data type is : "2017-01-07T09:08:59+0000"
Any suggestion ?

Answer 1

You have to "put in braces" orWhere function and in your raw query you are testing $to_date with updated_at column, but in Eloquent code you are making between with created_at column
$targeted_banners = BannerView::Where('camp_id', $id)
->where(function($query){$query->where('seat_target_status', true)->orWhere('seat_target_status', false);})
->where('camp_target_status', false)
->where("created_at", ">=" $from_date)
->where("updated_at", "<=", $to_date)
->count();

I've solved this problem using Carbon::createDateFrom method, it create a UTC date time base on my input :
Inputs :
{
"from_date": "2017-03-10",
"to_date": "2017-04-09"
}
Converting input dates :
$from_date_arr = explode("-",$request->input('from_date'));
$from_date = Carbon::createFromDate($from_date_arr[0],$from_date_arr[1],$from_date_arr[2]);
$to_date_arr = explode("-",$request->input('to_date'));
$to_date = Carbon::createFromDate($to_date_arr[0],$to_date_arr[1],$to_date_arr[2]);
And This is the query I run which worked :
$normal_banners = BannerView::Where('camp_id', $id)
->where(function ($query) {$query->where('seat_target_status', true)->orWhere('seat_target_status', false);
})
->where('camp_target_status', false)
->where("created_at", ">=",$from_date)
->where("created_at", "<=",$to_date)
->count();
There is a strange problem still with jessenger driver which whereBetween is not working and we should use two where clause to make it work.
Hope solves others problem.
