Usage

Installation

Create a Projection

php artisan make:projection MyProjection

Make a model projectable

When you want to make your model projectable, you must add it the Projectable trait and define the $projections class attribute:

use App\Models\Projections\MyProjection;
use TimothePearce\TimeSeries\Projectable;

class MyProjectableModel extends Model
{
    use Projectable;

    protected array $projections = [
        MyProjection::class,
    ];
}

If you want to use a different date field from your Model instead of created_at then do the following :

1. Make sure the field is casted to Carbon

use App\Models\Projections\MyProjection;
use TimothePearce\TimeSeries\Projectable;

class MyProjectableModel extends Model
{
    use Projectable;

    protected $casts = [
        'other_date_time' => 'datetime:Y-m-d H:00',
    ];

    protected array $projections = [
        MyProjection::class,
    ];
}

2. Add the dateColumn field in your Projection

namespace App\Models\Projections;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use TimothePearce\TimeSeries\Contracts\ProjectionContract;
use TimothePearce\TimeSeries\Models\Projection;

class MyProjection extends Projection implements ProjectionContract
{
    /**
     * The projected periods.
     */
    public array $periods = [];

    public string $dateColumn = 'other_date_time';
....

Implement a Projection

When you're implementing a projection, follow theses three steps:

• Define your projection periods
• Add a default content
• Bind your projection to the projectable models

Query a Projection

A Projection is an Eloquent model and is queried the same way, but keep in mind that the projections are all stored in a single table. That means you'll have to use scope methods to get the correct projections regarding the period you defined earlier:

MyProjection::period('1 day')
    ->between(
        today()->subDay(), // start date
        today(), // end date
    )
    ->get();

Query a time series

To get a time series from a projection model, use the toTimeSeries method:

MyProjection::period('1 day')
    ->toTimeSeries(
        today()->subDay(),
        today(),
    );

Note that this method fill the missing projections between the given dates with the default content you defined earlier.
