\--

This repository is currently a copy and backup of Demency/laravel-friendships (which has been removed). I plan on supporting the package going forward.

\--

This package gives Eloquent models the ability to manage their friendships. You can easily design a Facebook like Friend System.

Models can:
-----------

[](#models-can)

- Send Friend Requests
- Accept Friend Requests
- Deny Friend Requests
- Block Another Model
- Group Friends

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

[](#installation)

First, install the package through Composer.

```
composer require n3rdp1um23/laravel-friendships
```

Publish config and migrations

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="N3rdP1um23\Friendships\FriendshipsServiceProvider"

```

Configure the published config in

```

```

Finally, migrate the database

```
php artisan migrate

```

Setup a Model

Friends
-------

```
$user->getFriends();
```

#### Get Friends Paginated

[](#get-friends-paginated)

```
$user->getFriends($perPage = 20);
```

#### Get Friends of Friends

[](#get-friends-of-friends)

```
$user->getFriendsOfFriends($perPage = 20);

#### Collection of Friends in specific group paginated:

[](#collection-of-friends-in-specific-group-paginated)

```
$user->getFriends($perPage = 20, $group_name);
```

#### Get mutual Friends with another user

$user->getMutualFriends($otherUser, $perPage = 20);
```

#### Get friends using advanced paginated and scoped status

[](#get-friends-using-advanced-paginated-and-scoped-status)

```
// Methods usages (Status available: pending, denied, blocked and accepted.)
$user->{status}Friends($resultsPerPage = 0, $paginationType = 'none');

// Example #1: (Get accepted friends using default paginator with 25 results per page).
$user->acceptedFriends(25, 'default');

// Example #2: (Get pending friends using simple paginator with 10 results per page).
$user->pendingFriends(10, 'simple');

// Example #3: (Get all denied friends without pagination).
$user->deniedFriends();

// Example #3: (Get denied friends using default paginator with 30 results per page).
$user->blockedFriends(30);
```

Friend groups
-------------

[](#friend-groups)

The friend groups are defined in the `config/friendships.php` file. The package comes with a few default groups. To modify them, or add your own, you need to specify a `slug` and a `key`.

```
// config/friendships.php
...
'groups' => [
    'acquaintances' => 0,
    'close_friends' => 1,
    'family' => 2
]
```

Since you've configured friend groups, you can group/ungroup friends using the following methods.

#### Group a Friend

[](#group-a-friend)

```
$user->groupFriend($friend, $group_name);
```

#### Remove a Friend from family group

[](#remove-a-friend-from-family-group)

```
$user->ungroupFriend($friend, 'family');
```

#### Remove a Friend from all groups

[](#remove-a-friend-from-all-groups)

```
$user->ungroupFriend($friend);
```

#### Get the number of Friends in specific group

[](#get-the-number-of-friends-in-specific-group)

```
$user->getFriendsCount($group_name);
```

### To filter `friendships` by group you can pass a group slug.

[](#to-filter-friendships-by-group-you-can-pass-a-group-slug)

```
$user->getAllFriendships($group_name);
$user->getAcceptedFriendships($group_name);
$user->getPendingFriendships($group_name);
...
```
