count unread messages

[13dev]

how i can count all unread messages of user ?

[nahid]

In inbox message are already count unread messages.

[newbielinuxuser]

@nahid which method should we use for count unread messages?

[13dev]

getInbox

[newbielinuxuser]

@13dev Below is how I write the codes,

Controller $threads = Talk::threads(); return view('inbox', ['threads' => $threads]); View @foreach($threads as $value) {{dd($value)}} @endforeach

I use threads cuz threads are alias to getInbox, but even if i dump it, i still couldn't see the unread messages, what is the object name ?

[13dev]

you have this?

Talk::setAuthUserId(auth()->user()->id);

[newbielinuxuser]

Yes, i put it as a constructor public function __construct() { Talk::setAuthUserId(Auth::user()->id); }

[13dev]

in controller dd($threads); before return and watch if returning anything

[13dev]

and dd(Auth::user()->id);

[newbielinuxuser]

uh, yes, it does return something, same goes to the view that i commented just now, i just didn't know which object name it would be.

[13dev]

watch fillable

[newbielinuxuser]

+fillable: array:6 [▼
  0 => "message"
  1 => "is_seen"
  2 => "deleted_from_sender"
  3 => "deleted_from_receiver"
  4 => "user_id"
  5 => "conversation_id"
]

[13dev]

is_seen return if message is read or not

[newbielinuxuser]

alright, so i have to loop and count manually ? since im trying to get the total unread message.

[13dev]

you have to use getconversationByUserId()

[newbielinuxuser]
