[![Latest Version on Packagist](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/de649e5db3a054964d951d86b1cc4ced325780764c3c94ae33d85f53434e97f4/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f6b61726162696e73652f6c61726176656c2d636f6d6d656e7461626c652e7376673f7374796c653d666c61742d737175617265)](https://packagist.org/packages/karabinse/laravel-commentable)

Easily add a commentable trait to an Eloquent model

```
use Karabin\Commentable\Concerns\Commentable;

class Product extends Model
{
    use Commentable;

    protected $guarded = ['location'];
```

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require karabinse/laravel-commentable
```

You can publish and run the migrations with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-commentable-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-commentable-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'models' => [
        'comment' => \Karabin\Commentable\Models\Comment::class,
    ],

    // Add models that have comments here
    'model_map' => [
    ],

    'data' => [
        'comment' => \Karabin\Commentable\Data\CommentData::class,
    ],
];
```

Optionally, you can publish the views using

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-commentable-views"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the trait to the model you want to add comments to.

```
class Customer extends Model
{
    use Commentable, HasFactory;
```

Configure the model map. You can also provide a data transformer for the comment itself.

```
use App\Data\CommentData;
use App\Models\Customer;
use App\Models\Product;

return [
    'models' => [
        'comment' => \Karabin\Commentable\Models\Comment::class,
    ],

    // Add models that have comments here
    'model_map' => [
        'customers' => Customer::class,
        'products' => Product::class,
    ],

    'data' => [
        'comment' => CommentData::class,
    ],
];
```

Saving a new comment:

```
use Karabin\Commentable\Models\Comment;

$commentModel = new Comment;
$comment = $commentModel->storeComment(
    commenter: $request->user(),
    modelName: $modelName,
    modelId: $modelId,
    comment: $request->comment,
    parentId: $request->parent_id ?? null
);

return CommentData::from($comment)->wrap('data');
```

Getting comments:

```
$commentModel = new Comment;
$comments = $commentModel->getCommentsForModel($modelName, $modelId);

return response()->json(['data' => $comments]);
```
