Hello. I'm working towards building an array that consists of fruitName and fruitType count. Basically the array will be something like
[0] = Oranges, <some number>
[1] = Apples, <some number>
this array will server as a dataProvider for a Fruit Orders PieChart. (Answers the question, Of all the orders, how many were Apples? Oranges?)
I'm working with the Model's expression builder and could use some advice. I have an entity called "FruitOrders". FruitOrders contain a property called "fruitType" which is either "Apple" or "Orange". This entity and property have a corresponding db table and field.
Is it possible to determine the number of Fruit Orders there are for each fruitType utilizing expression builder? What I'm looking for is a count.
I can get the total number of orders by using sizeOf() from another entity that has a relationship with FruitOrders, but I need this number broken down by fruitType. Any ideas? Thanks, Nathan
(I'm working the filter angle as well. I know I can filter and on the client side dump it all into an array and loop through it with a set of conditions but I'm hoping to nail it down in the model. - Thanks )
