A dead-simple comments package for Laravel.
This package provides an incredibly simple comment system for your Laravel applications.
If you're looking for a package with UI components, I highly recommend using Spatie's
laravel-comments
package which comes with Livewire support out of the box.
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="laravel-comments-config"
This is the contents of the published config file:
return [
'model' => \RyanChandler\Comments\Models\Comment::class,
'user' => \App\Models\User::class,
];
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
