Usage

1. Prepare your Model

Add the HasComments trait to any model you want to allow comments on.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nirajan\Comment\Traits\HasComments;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasComments;
}

2. Add Blade Components

Insert the following components into your views (e.g., show.blade.php).

<x-comment::comment-form :model="$post" />

<x-comment::comment-list :model="$post" />

Admin Dashboard

You can manage, delete, and approve comments through the built-in dashboard: your-domain.com/AdminActivity/comments

Note: Ensure your admin_layout in the config file matches your actual admin theme layout.
