Implementation
--------------

[](#implementation)

### ServiceProvider

[](#serviceprovider)

`'Alexwenzel\LaravelCommentary\LaravelCommentaryServiceProvider'`

### Namespace

[](#namespace)

The package registers the following namespace: `laravel-commentary`

### Migration

[](#migration)

```
php artisan migrate --package="alexwenzel/laravel-commentary"

```

The migration creates a table named: `laravel-commentary-comments`

### Comment controllers

[](#comment-controllers)

There is a controller to manage the comments, and there is a controller for the frontend stuff. The management controller is best behind a secured route.

Include something like the following line in your `routes.php`:

```
/**
 * Comment Management
 */
Route::controller('commentsmanagement', 'Alexwenzel\LaravelCommentary\ManagementController');

/**
 * Comment Frontend
 */
Route::controller('commentsfrontend', 'Alexwenzel\LaravelCommentary\FrontendController');
```

If you need to customize the management section, [override](http://laravel.com/docs/packages#package-views) the views within your project.

### Comment form

[](#comment-form)

To display the comment form, include something like the following line in your view:

```
{{ View::make('laravel-commentary::comment-form', array('entity'=>'my_article_id')) }}
```

Register the controller first, otherwise you will get errors.

### Comment listing

[](#comment-listing)

To display the comments of an entity, include something like the following line in your view:

```
{{ View::make('laravel-commentary::comment-list', array('entity'=>'my_article_id')) }}
```

Register the controller first, otherwise you will get errors.

The following conditions are applied to the comment listing. Comments:

- have to be approved
- are ordered by creation time

### Comment controller behaviour

[](#comment-controller-behaviour)

The behaviour can be customized by overriding `CommentaryActionHandler` class.

### Events

[](#events)

The following events are fired:

```
laravel-commentary.comment-posted // first parameter is the comment
laravel-commentary.comment-approved // first parameter is the comment
laravel-commentary.comment-unapproved // first parameter is the comment
laravel-commentary.comment-trashed // first parameter is the comment

```
