Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong?
I’m trying to output all the months but group them so they are unique.
$months = NewsItem::select(DB::raw('MONTH("created_at") as month'))->groupBy('month')->get(); return $months;
I’m getting the following back
{"month":null}
In my database I have five news articles all created_at 05/01/2017 so it’s right that I only get one response but I’m not getting the number of the month back?

You can use groupBy()
method with closure:
$months = NewsItem::groupBy(function($d) { return Carbon::parse($d->created_at)->format('m'); })->get();
Or get data first and then use groupBy()
on the Eloquent collection:
$months = NewsItem::get()->groupBy(function($d) { return Carbon::parse($d->created_at)->format('m'); });
