Laravel Followers
=================

[](#laravel-followers)

Build a poly-morph follower system or simply associate Eloquent models in Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

Require the package from your `composer.json` file

```
"require": {
    "lecturize/laravel-followers": "dev-master"
}
```

and run `$ composer update` or both in one with `$ composer require lecturize/laravel-followers`.

Next register the service provider and (optional) facade to your `config/app.php` file

Configuration & Migration
-----------------------------

[](#configuration--migration)

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lecturize\Followers\FollowersServiceProvider"
```

This will publish a `config/lecturize.php` and some migration files, that you'll have to run:

```
$ php artisan migrate
```

For migrations to be properly published ensure that you have added the directory `database/migrations` to the classmap in your projects `composer.json`.
