Laravel Comment

Just another comment system for your awesome Laravel project.

Install

Via Composer:

composer require mll-lab/laravel-comment

Publish configurations and migrations, then migrate the comments table:

php artisan vendor:publish
php artisan migrate

Add the CanComment trait to your User model:

use Actuallymab\LaravelComment\CanComment;

final class User extends Model
{
    use CanComment;

Add the Commentable interface and the HasComments trait to your commentable model(s):

use Actuallymab\LaravelComment\Contracts\Commentable;
use Actuallymab\LaravelComment\HasComments;

final class Product extends Model implements Commentable
{
    use HasComments;

If you want to have your own Comment Model create a new one and extend Actuallymab\LaravelComment\Models\Comment:

use Actuallymab\LaravelComment\Models\Comment as LaravelComment;

final class Comment extends LaravelComment

Don't forget to update the model class in config/comment.php.

Allow rating

final class Product extends Model implements Commentable
{
    use HasComments;

    public function canBeRated(): bool
    {
        return true; // default false
    }

Require comments to be approved

final class Product extends Model implements Commentable
{
    use HasComments;

    public function mustBeApproved(): bool
    {
        return true; // default false
    }

Allow some users to comment without approval

final class User extends Model
{
    use CanComment;

    protected $fillable = [
        'isAdmin',
    ];

    public function canCommentWithoutApprove(): bool
    {
        return $this->isAdmin;
    }

Usage

$user = User::firstOrFail();
$product = Product::firstOrFail();

// Pass the model to comment, the content and an optional rate
$user->comment($product, 'Lorem ipsum ..', 3);

// Only necessary if:
// - User::canCommentWithoutApprove() returns false
// - Product::mustBeApproved() returns true
$product->comments[0]->approve();

// Calculates the average rating of approved comments
$product->averageRate();

// Calculates the amount of approved comments
$product->totalCommentsCount();

Tip: You might want to look at the tests/CommentTest.php file to check all potential usages.
