Laravel Fluent Query Builder Join with subquery

Ok for all of you out there that arrived here in desperation searching for the same problem. I hope you will find this quicker then I did ;O.

This is how it is solved. JoostK told me at github that “the first argument to join is the table (or data) you’re joining.”. And he was right.

Here is the code. Different table and names but you will get the idea right? It t

DB::table('users')
        ->select('first_name', 'TotalCatches.*')

        ->join(DB::raw('(SELECT user_id, COUNT(user_id) TotalCatch,
               DATEDIFF(NOW(), MIN(created_at)) Days,
               COUNT(user_id)/DATEDIFF(NOW(), MIN(created_at))
               CatchesPerDay FROM `catch-text` GROUP BY user_id)
               TotalCatches'), 
        function($join)
        {
           $join->on('users.id', '=', 'TotalCatches.user_id');
        })
        ->orderBy('TotalCatches.CatchesPerDay', 'DESC')
        ->get();
