See the [full configuration file](https://github.com/nazaryuzhyn/laravel-comments/blob/main/config/comments.php)for more information. ### Register the Package [](#register-the-package) Register package service provider in `providers` array inside `config/app.php` ``` 'providers' => [ // ... 'Comments\CommentsServiceProvider', ], ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Enable package in models [](#enable-package-in-models) To let your models be able to receive comments, add the `Comments\Traits\Commentable` trait to the model ``` namespace App\Models; use Comments\Traits\Commentable; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class Article extends Model { use Commentable; // ... } ``` ### Creating Comments [](#creating-comments) To create a comment on your models, you can use the `comment` method. It receives the string of the comment that you want to store. ``` $article = Article::find(1); $comment = $article->comment('This is a comment...'); ``` The comment method returns the newly created comment class. Sometimes you may also want to create comments on behalf of other users. You can do this using the `commentFromUser` method and pass your user model to be bound with this comment: ``` $user = User::find(1); $article = Article::find(1); $comment = $article->commentFromUser($user, 'This is a comment from someone else.'); ``` ### Approving Comments [](#approving-comments) By default, all comments that you create are not approved. To approve a single comment, you may use the `approve` method on the Comment model like this: ``` $article = Article::find(1); $comment = $article->comments->first(); $comment->approve(); ``` ### Auto Approve Comments [](#auto-approve-comments) If you want to approve a comment for a specific user automatically you can let your model implement the following interface and property: ``` namespace App\Models; use Comments\Contracts\Commentator; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; class User extends Authenticatable implements Commentator { use Commenting; protected bool $autoCommentApproval = true; // ... } ``` The autoCommentApproval property is intended to specify whether comments should be automatically approved, and you can either return true to mark the comment as approved or false to mark the comment as unapproved. ### Retrieving Comments [](#retrieving-comments) The models that use the `Commentable` trait have access to its comments using the `comments` relation: ``` $article = Article::find(1); // Retrieve all comments $comments = $article->comments; // Retrieve only approved comments $approved = $article->comments()->approved()->get(); // Retrieve only disapproved comments $disapproved = $article->comments()->disapproved()->get(); // Retrieve only for today comments $commentsForToday = $article->comments()->forToday()->get(); // Retrieve only before today comments $commentsBeforeToday = $article->comments()->beforeToday()->get(); ``` ### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
