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

[](#installation)

1. Install the package via Composer

```
$ composer require Stepanenko3/laravel-favorite
```

2. In Laravel >=5.5 this package will automatically get registered. For older versions, update your `config/app.php` by adding an entry for the service provider.

```
'providers' => [
    // ...
    Stepanenko3\LaravelFavorite\FavoriteServiceProvider::class,
];
```

3. Publish the database from the command line:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Stepanenko3\LaravelFavorite\FavoriteServiceProvider"
```

4. Migrate the database from the command line:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Models
------

[](#models)

Your User model should import the `Traits/Favoriteability.php` trait and use it, that trait allows the user to favorite the models. (see an example below):

```
use Stepanenko3\LaravelFavorite\Traits\Favoriteability;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
	use Favoriteability;
}
```

Your models should import the `Traits/Favoriteable.php` trait and use it, that trait have the methods that you'll use to allow the model be favoriteable. In all the examples I will use the Post model as the model that is 'Favoriteable', thats for example propuses only. (see an example below):

```
use Stepanenko3\LaravelFavorite\Traits\Favoriteable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Favoriteable;
}
```

That's it ... your model is now **"favoriteable"**! Now the User can favorite models that have the favoriteable trait.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The models can be favorited with and without an authenticated user (see examples below):

### Add to favorites and remove from favorites:

[](#add-to-favorites-and-remove-from-favorites)

If no param is passed in the favorite method, then the model will asume the auth user.

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->addFavorite(); // auth user added to favorites this post
$post->removeFavorite(); // auth user removed from favorites this post
$post->toggleFavorite(); // auth user toggles the favorite status from this post
```

If a param is passed in the favorite method, then the model will asume the user with that id.

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->addFavorite(5); // user with that id added to favorites this post
$post->removeFavorite(5); // user with that id removed from favorites this post
$post->toggleFavorite(5); // user with that id toggles the favorite status from this post
```

The user model can also add to favorites and remove from favrites:

```
$user = User::first();
$post = Post::first();
$user->addFavorite($post); // The user added to favorites this post
$user->removeFavorite($post); // The user removed from favorites this post
$user->toggleFavorite($post); // The user toggles the favorite status from this post
```

### Return the favorite objects for the user:

[](#return-the-favorite-objects-for-the-user)

A user can return the objects he marked as favorite. You just need to pass the **class** in the `favorite()` method in the `User` model.

```
$user = Auth::user();
$user->favorite(Post::class); // returns a collection with the Posts the User marked as favorite
```

### Return the favorites count from an object:

[](#return-the-favorites-count-from-an-object)

You can return the favorites count from an object, you just need to return the `favoritesCount` attribute from the model

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->favoritesCount; // returns the number of users that have marked as favorite this object.
```

### Return the users who marked this object as favorite

[](#return-the-users-who-marked-this-object-as-favorite)

You can return the users who marked this object, you just need to call the `favoritedBy()` method in the object

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->favoritedBy(); // returns a collection with the Users that marked the post as favorite.
```

### Check if the user already favorited an object

[](#check-if-the-user-already-favorited-an-object)

You can check if the Auth user have already favorited an object, you just need to call the `isFavorited()` method in the object

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->isFavorited(); // returns a boolean with true or false.
```
