Reactions plugin for CakePHP applications.

This branch is for use with **CakePHP 5.1+**. For details see [version map](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-reactions/wiki#cakephp-version-map).

This is the multiple-reactions-per-entity companion to [dereuromark/cakephp-favorites](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-favorites), which handles the single-opinion star/like/favorite use case. For ratings, use [dereuromark/cakephp-ratings](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-ratings).

Each reaction row stores a string reaction key in the `reaction` column. That key can be a literal emoji like `👍` or a named key like `thumbsup`. Set `allowed` if you want to restrict the accepted set.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Polymorphic reactions for any CakePHP model.
- Multiple distinct reactions per user per record.
- Emoji literals (`👍`) and named keys (`thumbsup`, `rocket`, ...).
- Optional allow-listing for accepted reaction keys.
- Helper-rendered reaction widgets and count output.
- Controller and component integration strategies.
- Optional counter cache for fast list views.
- Admin listing, protected by an explicit access callback.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

composer require dereuromark/cakephp-reactions
