Comment count

[eduardonwa]

I been trying to do this for days, how do I count comments without repeating the count for the other posts?

@foreach ($comments->unique('commentable_id') as $comment)
                            <a class="post-title" 
                                href="/posts/{{ $comment->commentable->slug }}"> 
                                    {{ $comment->commentable->title }}
                            </a>

                            <p class="post-comments">
                                {{ $post->comments->count() }}
                            </p>

                            <span class="action-btn">
                                <a class="post-title" 
                                    href="/posts/{{ $comment->commentable->slug }}#comments"> 
                                    <button class="view-btn" id="listModal"> 
                                        <i class="fas fa-eye"></i> 
                                        List
                                    </button>
                                </a>
                            </span>
                        @endforeach

I have 3 posts but when I apply that in my view I get the count for just 1 of the posts, then the number gets repeated for other posts. I checked this https://github.com/laravelista/comments/issues/149, and that could work as well only problem is still returning the same count for all of my posts.

You should not loop on comments but on posts and then display the number of comments for that post, not the other way around:

foreach($posts as $post)
    $post->title etc.
    $post->comments->count()

That should do it.
