After the package is installed the only thing you have to do is add the `HasPosts` trait to an Eloquent model to associate the users. Here are some code examples: ``` // Alias namespace path: // Chriscreates\Blog\Post // Chriscreates\Blog\Category // Chriscreates\Blog\Tag // Chriscreates\Blog\Comment // Search by the short whereCategories method OR use whereCategory() and specify the field $results = Post::whereCategories($categories = null)->get(); $results = Post::whereCategory($field, $operator, $value)->get(); // Search by Category ID OR IDs $results = Post::whereCategories(1)->get(); $results = Post::whereCategory('id', 1)->get(); ---------- $results = Post::whereCategories([3, 6, 7])->get(); $results = Post::whereCategory('id', [3, 6, 7])->get(); // Search by Category name OR names $results = Post::whereCategories('Izabella Bins II')->get(); $results = Post::whereCategory('name', 'Izabella Bins II')->get(); ---------- $results = Post::whereCategories(['Izabella Bins II', 'Osborne Fay'])->get(); $results = Post::whereCategory('name', ['Izabella Bins II', 'Osborne Fay'])->get(); // Search by Category model or a Category Collection $category = Category::where('id', 7)->first(); $results = Post::whereCategories($category)->get(); ---------- $categories = Category::whereIn('id', [3, 6, 7])->get(); $results = Post::whereCategories($categories)->get(); // Search by related Post (tags or category) $post = Post::find(8); $results = Post::relatedByPostTags($post)->get(); ---------- $results = Post::relatedByPostCategory($post)->get(); // Search by published Posts only Post::published()->get(); ---------- Post::publishedLastMonth()->get(); ---------- Post::publishedLastWeek()->get(); // Search by unpublished Posts only Post::notPublished()->get(); // Search by scheduled Posts only Post::scheduled()->get(); // Search by drafted Posts only Post::draft()->get(); // Order by latest published Post::orderByLatest()->get(); ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This package requires Laravel 5.8 or higher, PHP 7.2 or higher and a database that supports json fields and MySQL compatible functions. Installation ------------ [](#installation) > Note: Laravel Blogger requires you to have user authentication in place prior to installation. For Laravel 5.\* based projects run the `make:auth` Artisan command. For Laravel 6.\* based projects please see the official guide to get started. You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require chrisjk123/laravel-blogger ``` Publish the primary configuration file using the `blog:install` Artisan command: ``` php artisan blog:install ``` This is the contents of the published config file, if your `User` class is within a different directory or has a different primary key it can be changed here. ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | User relations |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | This is the default path to the User model in Laravel and primary key. | You are free to change this path to anything you like. | */ 'user' => [ 'user_class' => \App\User::class, 'user_key_name' => 'id', ], ``` Optionally you can follow the [artesaos/seotools](https://github.com/artesaos/seotools#in-your-view) guide to help provide some common SEO techniques for your public frontend: ``` {{-- Within the head of your app.blade.php file --}} {!! SEOMeta::generate() !!} {!! OpenGraph::generate() !!} ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) Run the tests with: ``` composer test ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) All you have to do is add the `HasPosts` to your User model to get started. ``` namespace App; use Chriscreates\Blog\Traits\User\HasPosts; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; class User extends Authenticatable { use Notifiable, HasPosts; // ... } // Retrieve the posts created by the user(s) $user->posts; // Retrieve the comments created by the guest/user(s) $user->comments; ``` ``` {{-- Print the published post markdown content --}} {!! $post->parsed_markdown !!} ``` Furthermore, in the configuration file, the default is set to true for allowing both user and public commenting on posts is set here. ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Post commenting options |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | The default for commenting on posts is enabled, as well as guest | commenting. Feel free to change these conditions to false. | */ 'posts' => [ 'allow_comments' => true, 'allow_guest_comments' => true, ], ``` You can get setup quickly by using the `blog:setup` Artisan command. This publishes the routes, controllers and views. Optionally you can seed the database with `factory()` data by specifying the data `--data` option. ``` php artisan blog:setup --data ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently. ### Security [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
