Installation

composer require "rmrevin/yii2-comments:~1.4"

Configuration

In config /protected/config/main.php

<?php
return [
	// ...
	'modules' => [
		// ...
		'comments' => [
		    'class' => 'rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\Module',
		    'userIdentityClass' => 'app\models\User',
		    'useRbac' => true,
		]
	],
	// ...
];

In your User model (or another model implements the interface IdentityInterface) need to implement the interface "\rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\interfaces\CommentatorInterface"

class User extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
    implements
        \yii\web\IdentityInterface,
        \rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\interfaces\CommentatorInterface
{
    // ...
    
    public function getCommentatorAvatar()
    {
        return $this->avatar_url;
    }
    
    public function getCommentatorName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }
    
    public function getCommentatorUrl()
    {
        return ['/profile', 'id' => $this->id]; // or false, if user does not have a public page
    }
    
    // ...
}

In auth manager add rules (if Module::$useRbac = true):

<?php
use \rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\Permission;
use \rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\rbac\ItsMyComment;

$AuthManager = \Yii::$app->getAuthManager();
$ItsMyCommentRule = new ItsMyComment();

$AuthManager->add($ItsMyCommentRule);

$AuthManager->add(new \yii\rbac\Permission([
    'name' => Permission::CREATE,
    'description' => 'Can create own comments',
]));
$AuthManager->add(new \yii\rbac\Permission([
    'name' => Permission::UPDATE,
    'description' => 'Can update all comments',
]));
$AuthManager->add(new \yii\rbac\Permission([
    'name' => Permission::UPDATE_OWN,
    'ruleName' => $ItsMyCommentRule->name,
    'description' => 'Can update own comments',
]));
$AuthManager->add(new \yii\rbac\Permission([
    'name' => Permission::DELETE,
    'description' => 'Can delete all comments',
]));
$AuthManager->add(new \yii\rbac\Permission([
    'name' => Permission::DELETE_OWN,
    'ruleName' => $ItsMyCommentRule->name,
    'description' => 'Can delete own comments',
]));

Extending the package

### Extending Model files

Depending on which ones you need, you can set the modelMap config property:

	// ...
	'modules' => [
		// ...
		'comments' => [
		    'class' => 'rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\Module',
		    'userIdentityClass' => 'app\models\User',
		    'useRbac' => true,
		    'modelMap' => [
		        'Comment' => '@app\comments\CommentModel'
		    ]
		]
	],
	// ...

Attention: keep in mind that if you are changing the Comment model, the new class should always extend the package's original Comment class.

### Attaching behaviors and event handlers

The package allows you to attach behavior or event handler to any model. To do this you can set model map like so:

	// ...
	'modules' => [
		// ...
		'comments' => [
		    'class' => 'rmrevin\yii\module\Comments\Module',
		    'userIdentityClass' => 'app\models\User',
		    'useRbac' => true,
		    'modelMap' => [
		        'Comment' => [
		            'class' => '@app\comments\CommentModel',
		            'on event' => function(){
		                // code here
		            },
		            'as behavior' => 
		                ['class' => 'Foo'],
		    ]
		]
	],
	// ...

Extending View files

You can extend the view files supplied by this package using the theme component in the config file.

// app/config/web.php

'components' => [
    'view' => [
        'theme' => [
            'pathMap' => [
                '@vendor/rmrevin/yii2-comments/widgets/views' => '@app/views/comments', // example: @app/views/comment/comment-form.php
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

### Extending Widgets

To extend the widget code and behavior you only have to extend the widget classes and call them instead of the package's ones.
