Laravel 5 Microblog
===================

[](#laravel-5-microblog)

Create a microblogging platform (e.g., Twitter, Tumblr).

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

[](#installation)

First, install the package through Composer.

```
composer require skybluesofa/laravel-microblog
```

The service provider should be automatically installed on Laravel 5.5+. If you are running a lesser verion, then include the service provider inside `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Skybluesofa\Microblog\ServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];
```

Publish config and migrations

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Skybluesofa\Microblog\ServiceProvider"

```

Configure the published config in

```
config\microblog.php

```

Finally, migrate the database

```
php artisan migrate

```

Add Authorship to a User
------------------------

[](#add-authorship-to-a-user)

When a User is a MicroblogAuthor, they can create blog posts.

```
use Skybluesofa\Microblog\Model\Traits\MicroblogAuthor;
class User extends Model
{
    use MicroblogAuthor;
    ...
}
```

Add Blog Friends to a User
--------------------------

[](#add-blog-friends-to-a-user)

The getBlogFriends() method allows for limiting who can see a User's blog posts.

The Skybluesofa\\Microblog\\Model\\Traits\\MicroblogFriends Trait enforces that this method exists on the User model, but does not implement it. You'll need to do that however you see fit. Below is an example:

```
use Skybluesofa\Microblog\Model\Traits\MicroblogFriends;
class User extends Model
{
    use MicroblogFriends;

    ...
    public function getBlogFriends()
    {
        // Return null to get all users
        return null;

        // Return an array to get specific user ids
        // return [1,2,3];

        // Return an empty array to get no user ids (no one else)
        //return [];
    }
    ...
}
```
