Laravel Likeable
================

[](#laravel-likeable)

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

[](#introduction)

This package is basically a simplified fork of a [Laravel Love](https://github.com/cybercog/laravel-love) package with only using LIKE and UNLIKE capability. "Laravel Love" have more capabilities such as both "LIKE" and "DISLIKE" functionality.

Also, worth noting that this package utilizes usage of UUID's instead of integer ID's. And the "Likeable" and "Liker" models needs to utilize UUIDs as well. If you are not using UUID's please use the [cybercog/laravel-likeable](https://github.com/cybercog/laravel-likeable), [cybercog/laravel-love](https://github.com/cybercog/laravel-love) or any of the alternatives listed below.

For the UUID generation this package uses [Ramsey UUID](https://github.com/ramsey/uuid).

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Uses UUIDs instead of integers (your user model must use them as well!)
- Designed to work with Laravel Eloquent models.
- Using contracts to keep high customization capabilities.
- Using traits to get functionality out of the box.
- Most part of the the logic is handled by the `LikeableService`.
- Has Artisan command `golike:recount {model?}` to re-fetch like counters.
- Subscribes for one model are mutually exclusive.
- Get Likeable models ordered by likes count.
- Events for `like`, `unlike` methods.
- Following PHP Standard Recommendations:
    - [PSR-1 (Basic Coding Standard)](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-1/).
    - [PSR-2 (Coding Style Guide)](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/).
    - [PSR-4 (Autoloading Standard)](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/).
