laravel with count with querry builder code example

Example 1: select sum in laravel

Sometime for such queries you need to disable the strict check
 So inside config/database.php and inside mysql, 
 Set 'strict' => false,

->select('user_id', DB::raw('SUM(points) as total_points'))

Example 2: laravel join

$latestPosts = DB::table('posts')
                   ->select('user_id', DB::raw('MAX(created_at) as last_post_created_at'))
                   ->where('is_published', true)
                   ->groupBy('user_id');

$users = DB::table('users')
        ->joinSub($latestPosts, 'latest_posts', function ($join) {
            $join->on('users.id', '=', 'latest_posts.user_id');
        })->get();
