README

Laravel favorable package to like, dislike and favorite your models.

Composer Install

composer require flarone/laravel-favorable

Then run the migrations

php artisan migrate

Setup your models

class Article extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
	use \Flarone\Favoriteable\Favoriteable;
}

Sample Usage

$model->favorite(); // favorite the model for current user
$model->favorite($myUserId); // pass in your own user id
$model->favorite(0); // just add favorites to the count, and don't track by user

$model->defavorite(); // remove favorite from the model
$model->defavorite($myUserId); // pass in your own user id
$model->defavorite(0); // remove favorites from the count -- does not check for user

$model->favoriteCount; // get count of favorites

$model->favorites; // Iterable Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection of existing favorites

$model->favorited(); // check if currently logged in user favorited the model
$model->favorited($myUserId);

Model::whereFavoritedBy($myUserId) // find only models where user favorited them
	->with('favoriteCounter') // highly suggested to allow eager load
	->get();

Extending the favorite model

You can extend the favorite model if needed. To do this create your own Favorite model and let it extend the following favorite base model:

\Flarone\Favoriteable\Models\Favorite::class

Next, publish the configuration file with the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Flarone\Favoriteable\FavoriteableServiceProvider" --tag="config"

The favorable config file will be copied into your config directory. In this file adjust the favorite_model to your own created model.
