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

[](#installation)

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Add it on your composer.json

```
"fenos/rally": "1.0.*"

```

and run **composer update**

### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Add the following string to **app/config/app.php**

**Providers array:**

```
'Fenos\Rally\RallyServiceProvider'

```

**Aliases array:**

```
'Rally'    => 'Fenos\Rally\Facades\Rally'

```

### Step 3

[](#step-3)

#### Migration

[](#migration)

Make sure that your settings on **app/config/database.php** are correct, then make the migration typing:

```
php artisan migrate --package="fenos/rally"

```

### Step 4

[](#step-4)

#### Include relations

[](#include-relations)

Rally comes with some relations already setted for you, you just need to insert the `trait` that I made for you in all your models you wish to have relations with Rally.

```

class User extends Eloquent
{
    use \Fenos\Rally\Models\Relations;
}

```

That's it your have done.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

How i said on the installation, Rally can be **Polymorphic**, it means that if you have `Users` and `Teams` as entity of your application they can follow between them. But it is just up to you. If you realize that you don't need of it, You can keep it as a single model binding.

The key to enable or disable the polymorphic relation is in the configuration files. You just need to push them and change the key polymorphic to `true`. if instead you want to keep the plugin as 1 model but the `User` model is not your main model change it ;)

```
php artisan config:publish fenos/rally

```

### Follow

[](#follow)

For start to be followers of a entity when it comes polymorphically you will use the following method let me show you.

```
try
{
    Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->follow('Team',$team_id);
}
catch(\Fenos\Rally\Exceptions\AlreadyFollowerException $e)
{
    // is already fan
}

```

With only fews line of code the user has started to follow the team.

If instead you use **Rally** as normal

```
try
{
    Rally::follower($user_id)->follow($user_id);
}
catch(\Fenos\Rally\Exceptions\AlreadyFollowerException $e)
{
    // is already follower
}

```

Let me explain it. The method `follower()` specify the user that want to be follower, so if Rally comes polymorphically you have to specify as `first paramter` The model of it, as `second parameter` the id if instead is not polymorphically just the ID. Almost same the method `follow()` in this method you specify who will be followed parameters are same.

### UnFollow

[](#unfollow)

If you don't want follow someone anymore you will use this method:

**Polymorphically**

```
try
{
    Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->unFollow('Team',$team_id);
}
catch(\Fenos\Rally\Exceptions\FollowerNotFoundException $e)
{
    // the user already doesn't follow him
}

```

**Normal**

```
try
{
    Rally::follower($user_id)->unFollow($user_id);
}
catch(\Fenos\Rally\Exceptions\FollowerNotFoundException $e)
{
    // the user already doesn't follow him
}

```

### Check if Is follow of

[](#check-if-is-follow-of)

If you want to know a given User if has following someone use:

**Polymorphically**

```
Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->isFollowerOf('Team',$team_id);

```

**Normal**

```
Rally::follower($user_id)->isFollowerOf($user_id); // return Boolean

```

### Get lists of followers

[](#get-lists-of-followers)

Well Rally give to you a easy way to get the lists of your followers but remeber that you implemented the `trait` with the relations in your model, So you can even access to them directly from that, I suggest that. But let me show you if you want use Rally.

**Polymorphically**

```
Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->getLists();

Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->getLists(['orderBy' => 'DESC', 'limit' => 10]);

Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->getLists(['orderBy' => 'DESC', 'paginate' => 5 ]);

```

**Normal**

```
Rally::follower($user_id)->getLists();

Rally::follower($user_id)->getLists(['orderBy' => 'DESC', 'limit' => 10]);

Rally::follower($user_id)->getLists(['orderBy' => 'DESC', 'paginate' => 5 ]);

```

You can even chain `count()` it return a Collection so you can use all the methods of it.

#### Count Followers

[](#count-followers)

You Need just the numbers of followers and nothing else?

**Polymorphically**

```
Rally::follower('User',$user_id)->count();

```

**Normal**

```
Rally::follower($user_id)->count();

```

I hope you'll enjoy it.
