The friend groups are defined in the config/acquaintances.php file. The package comes with a few default groups. To modify them, or add your own, you need to specify a slug and a key.

// config/acquaintances.php
//...
'groups' => [
    'acquaintances' => 0,
    'close_friends' => 1,
    'family' => 2
];

Since you've configured friend groups, you can group/ungroup friends using the following methods.

Group a Friend

$user->groupFriend($friend, $group_name);

Remove a Friend from family group

$user->ungroupFriend($friend, 'family');

Remove a Friend from all groups

$user->ungroupFriend($friend);

Get the number of Friends in specific group

$user->getFriendsCount($group_name);

To filter friendships by group you can pass a group slug.

$user->getAllFriendships($group_name);
$user->getAcceptedFriendships($group_name);
$user->getPendingFriendships($group_name);
...

Parameters

All the above mentioned methods of creating relationships, such as 'follow', 'like', 'unfollow', 'unlike', their syntax is as follows:

follow(array|int|\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $targets, $class = __CLASS__)

So you can call them like this:

// id / int|array
$user->follow(1); // targets: 1, $class = App\User
$user->follow(1, App\Post::class); // targets: 1, $class = App\Post
$user->follow([1, 2, 3]); // targets: [1, 2, 3], $class = App\User

// Model
$post = App\Post::find(7);
$user->follow($post); // targets: $post->id, $class = App\Post

// Model array
$posts = App\Post::popular()->get();
$user->follow($posts); // targets: [1, 2, ...], $class = App\Post

Query relations

$followers = $user->followers;
$followers = $user->followers()->where('id', '>', 10)->get();
$followers = $user->followers()->orderByDesc('id')->get();
$followers = $user->followers()->paginate(10);

You may use the others in the same way.

Working with model

use ElemenX\Acquaintances\Models\InteractionRelation;

// Get most popular object
// 1- All types
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular()->get();

// 2- subject_type = App\Post
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular(App\Post::class)->get(); 

// 3- subject_type = App\User
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular('user')->get();
 
// 4- subject_type = App\Post
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular('post')->get();

// 5- Pagination
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular(App\Post::class)->paginate(15);
