Friend groups
The friend groups are defined in the config/friendships.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/friendships.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); ...
