README

Polymorphic favorites for Eloquent models, kept unique by the database.

Installation

composer require pharaonic/laravel-favorites
php artisan migrate

The service provider is registered automatically, and migrate creates the favorites table. Publish the migration only to change it (--tag=favorites-migrations), and the configuration only to rename the table or turn off cleanup on delete:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=favorites-config

Usage

Add CanFavorite to the model that favorites (it does not have to be a user) and HasFavorites to the model that is favorited. A model can use both.

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Pharaonic\Laravel\Favorites\Concerns\CanFavorite;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use CanFavorite;
}

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Pharaonic\Laravel\Favorites\Concerns\HasFavorites;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFavorites;
}

$user->favorite($post);       // true: this call created the favorite
$user->favorite($post);       // false: it already existed
$user->hasFavorited($post);   // true
$user->unfavorite($post);     // true: this call removed it, false when there was none
$user->toggleFavorite($post); // the new state: true when favorited

$post->favoriteBy($user);     // same as $user->favorite($post)
$post->unfavoriteBy($user);   // same as $user->unfavorite($post)
$post->favoritedBy($user);    // same as $user->hasFavorited($post)

Post::withCount('favorites')->with('favorites.favoriter')->get();
Post::whereFavoritedBy($user)->latest()->paginate();
$user->givenFavorites()->with('favoritable')->latest()->get();
