\#Laravel Readable Make eloquent models readable

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

For cases where you would like multiple users to be able to mark something as read. In somecases a read\_at collumn can easily be added to a reasource table in order to store similar information, this package is for cases where this is not practical.

\##Overview A reads table is created to keep track of read resources.

\##Installation

- Add `"andheiberg/readable": "dev-master"` to your composer.json
- Run `composer update`
- Run `php artisan migrate --package="andheiberg/readable"`
- Add `use \Andheiberg\Readable\Traits\IsReadable;` inside every model you want to be readable
