Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` composer require ryangjchandler/laravel-comments ``` The package automatically registers migrations so there's no need to publish anything, just run them. ``` php artisan migrate ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="comments-config" ``` This is the contents of the published config file: ``` return [ 'model' => \RyanChandler\Comments\Models\Comment::class, 'user' => \App\Models\User::class, ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Start by using the `RyanChandler\Comments\Concerns\HasComments` trait on your model. ``` use RyanChandler\Comments\Concerns\HasComments; class Post extends Model { use HasComments; } ``` This trait adds a `comments(): MorphMany` relationship on your model. It also adds a new `comment()` method that can be used to quickly add a comment to your model. ``` $post = Post::first(); $post->comment('Hello, world!'); ``` By default, the package will use the authenticated user's ID as the "commentor". You can customise this by providing a custom `User` to the `comment()` method. ``` $post->comment('Hello, world!', user: User::first()); ``` The package also supports `parent -> children` relationships for comments. This means that a comment can `belongTo` another comment. ``` $post->comment('Thanks for commenting!', parent: Comment::find(2)); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
