Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Registering Models

[](#registering-models)

To let your models be able to receive comments, add the `HasComments` trait to the model classes.

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use zepson\Comments\Traits\HasComments;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasComments;
    ...
}
```

### Creating Comments

[](#creating-comments)

To create a comment on your commentable models, you can use the `comment` method. It receives the string of the comment that you want to store.

```
$post = Post::find(1);

$comment = $post->comment('This is a comment from a user.');
```

The comment method returns the newly created comment class.

Sometimes you also might want to create comments on behalf of other users. You can do this using the `commentAsUser` method and pass in your user model that should get associated with this comment:

```
$post = Post::find(1);

$comment = $post->commentAsUser($yourUser, 'This is a comment from someone else.');
```

### Approving Comments

[](#approving-comments)

By default, all comments that you create are not approved - this is just a boolean flag called `is_approved` that you can use in your views/controllers to filter out comments that you might not yet want to display.

To approve a single comment, you may use the `approve` method on the Comment model like this:

```
$post = Post::find(1);
$comment = $post->comments->first();

$comment->approve();
```

### Auto Approve Comments

[](#auto-approve-comments)

If you want to automatically approve a comment for a specific user (and optionally model) you can let your User model implement the following interface and method:

```
namespace App\Models;

use zepson\Comments\Contracts\Commentator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements Commentator
{
    /**
     * Check if a comment for a specific model needs to be approved.
     * @param mixed $model
     * @return bool
     */
    public function needsCommentApproval($model): bool
    {
        return false;
    }

}
```

The `needsCommentApproval` method received the model instance that you want to add a comment to and you can either return `true` to mark the comment as **not** approved, or return `false` to mark the comment as **approved**.

### Retrieving Comments

[](#retrieving-comments)

The models that use the `HasComments` trait have access to it's comments using the `comments` relation:

```
$post = Post::find(1);

// Retrieve all comments
$comments = $post->comments;

// Retrieve only approved comments
$approved = $post->comments()->approved()->get();
```
