Context: To give context, I am trying to create a graph with the months as the labels and the number of applications as the dataset.

My code:

$apps = Application::whereBetween('created_at', [

        Carbon::now()->startOfYear(),

        Carbon::now()->endOfYear(),

    ])

    ->get()

    ->groupBy(function ($val) {

        return Carbon::parse($val->created_at)->format('M');

    })

    ->toArray();

returns

array:3 [▼

 "Jan" => array:2 [▶]

 "Feb" => array:1 [▶]

 "May" => array:1 [▶]

]

I want to create an array that produces this result:

['Jan', 'Feb', 'May']

I have tried using array keys, values, etc without any joy.

My Answer:
>subMonths(11), Carbon::now()])->get();

$months = $apps->groupBy(function($app) {
return Carbon::parse($app->created_at)->format('F');
})->map(function($month) {
return $month->count();
});

$topMonth = $months->max();

echo "The top month for applications is: " . $topMonth;
