This gives you full flexibility to modify, extend, or customize comment behavior as needed. ### 1. Install the package [](#1-install-the-package) ``` composer require editmode/laravel-comments ``` ### 2. Publish the configuration file (optional but recommended): [](#2-publish-the-configuration-file-optional-but-recommended) ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=comments-config ``` ### 2.5. Publish the migrations [](#25-publish-the-migrations) The package includes migrations to create the comments and comment reactions tables. You should publish them using: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="comments-migrations" ``` > 🛑 **Important:** If you plan to use the like/dislike feature, make sure to also publish the config file first and enable it in `config/comments.php` by setting `like_dislike_feature` to `true`. Otherwise, the `comment_reactions` table will not be created during migration. ### 3. Create your own Comment model by extending the base comment model: [](#3-create-your-own-comment-model-by-extending-the-base-comment-model) > 🚨 **VERY IMPORTANT** > For Laravel's polymorphic relationships to work *automatically* without manual configuration, your custom model **must** be named `Comment`. If you use any other name (like `UserComment`, `PostComment`, etc.), morph types like `commentable_type` will not resolve correctly unless you manually configure a morph map. Laravel automatically handles this when your model is named `Comment`. ``` use Nika\LaravelComments\Models\Comment as BaseComment; class Comment extends BaseComment ↑ { // Add your own relationships, scopes, or overrides here } ``` ### 4. Update your configuration file `config/comments.php` to use your custom Comment model: [](#4-update-your-configuration-file-configcommentsphp-to-use-your-custom-comment-model) ``` return [ 'model' => App\Models\Comment::class, ]; ``` This setup allows you to fully control how comments behave in your application while leveraging the core features provided by the package. --- ### 5. Attach a comment to a model [](#5-attach-a-comment-to-a-model) You can now attach comments to any model by using the `HasComments` trait on that model. ``` use Nika\LaravelComments\Traits\HasComments; class Post extends Model { use HasComments; } ``` Then, to add a comment as the currently authenticated user: ``` $post = Post::find(1); $post->comment('This is a comment from the logged-in user'); ``` Or explicitly pass a user: ``` $post->commentAsUser($user, 'This is a comment from a specific user'); ``` This allows you to associate comments with any model that uses the `HasComments` trait. Config ------ [](#config) You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="comments-config" ``` ### Like/Dislike Feature [](#likedislike-feature) You can optionally enable the **like/dislike** feature in the package **config**. To enable this feature: 1. Set `like_dislike_feature` to `true` in `config/comments.php`. 2. Add the `HasReactions` trait to your custom comment model. ``` use Nika\LaravelComments\Models\Comment as BaseComment; use Nika\LaravelComments\Traits\HasReactions; class Comment extends BaseComment { use HasReactions; } ``` Migrations ---------- [](#migrations) You can publish and run the migrations with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nika\LaravelComments\LaravelCommentsServiceProvider" --tag="comments-migrations" ``` Then run the migrations: ``` php artisan migrate ``` > ⚠️ The `create_comment_reactions_table` migration will be skipped unless the `like_dislike_feature` setting is enabled in your `config/comments.php` file. If you plan to use the like/dislike feature, make sure to publish the **config** first and set `like_dislike_feature`to true before running `php artisan migrate`. Routes ------ [](#routes) You can register the package's routes by calling the macro in your `routes/web.php`: ``` Route::comments(); ``` This will automatically register routes like `GET /comments`, and if the like/dislike feature is enabled, also `POST /comments/{comment}/react/{type}` — where `{type}` must be either `like` or `dislike`. By default, routes are prefixed with `/comments`. You can change this by passing a different base URL to `Route::comments('your-prefix')`. > 💡 See [Development Tips](#development-tips) for filtering the route list. ### Published Routes: [](#published-routes) MethodURIName**GET**`/{prefix}`—**POST**`/{prefix}`comment.store**PATCH**`/{prefix}/{comment}`comment.update**DELETE**`/{prefix}/{comment}`comment.destroy**POST**`/{prefix}/{comment}/react/{type}`comment.reaction.toggleDevelopment Tips ---------------- [](#development-tips) ### Filtering Routes [](#filtering-routes) To list only the routes registered by this package: ``` php artisan route:list --path=comments ``` This helps when debugging or inspecting how the package integrates into your app. Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
