Reports Overview #
Reports allow you to collect data by writing Twig tags as normal. All you need to in the end is pass that data to the .prepare()
method, like the following example:
Example report in Twig:
{% set newsCount = craft.entries.section('news').limit(null).total() %}
{{ craft.reports.prepare({
columns: ['Total news entries'],
rows: [ [ newsCount ] ]
}) }}
List all users in a specific user group that have logged in within the last 30 days:
{% set loginPeriod = now|date_modify('-30 days') %}
{% set users = craft.users.group('clients').lastLoginDate('> ' ~ loginPeriod) %}
{% set userRows = [] %}
{% for user in users %}
{% set userRows = userRows|merge([ [user.username, user.getName(), user.email] ]) %}
{% endfor %}
{{ craft.reports.prepare({
columns: ['Username', 'Name', 'Email'],
rows: userRows
}) }}
The result is available in the control panel, or as a CSV export.
