Problem 1:
->update() does not trigger mutators. There is a workaround to it that does work.
Problem 2:
For the ->sum() the getters/accessors do not work.
1 | PaymentMade::whereUserId($userId)->sum('amount') |
The above trick does not help either. At that moment, I felt I don’t know how many problems we are going to run into. With as much less time we developers have, it felt wise to not use it.
