    composer require toneflix-code/social-interactions
  2. Publish resources (migrations and config files) [Optional]:

    • Config File

      php artisan vendor:publish --tag=social-interactions-config

      After publishing, the config file can be found in config/social-interactions.php

    • Migration Files

      php artisan vendor:publish --tag=social-interactions-migrations
  3. Before running migrations, you may want to take a look at the tables config if you want to customize the table names used by the package. Finally. run the migrations with the following command:

    php artisan migrate

Package Discovery

Laravel automatically discovers and publishes service providers but optionally after you have installed Laravel Fileable, open your Laravel config file config/app.php and add the following lines.

In the $providers array add the service providers for this package.

ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\SocialInteractionsServiceProvider::class

Add the facade of this package to the $aliases array.

'SocialInteraction' => ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\Facades\SocialInteraction::class

Configuration

If you published

Usage

For a model to be able to interact with other models, it has to be using the ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\Traits\CanSocialInteract trait.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\Traits\CanSocialInteract;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory;
    use CanSocialInteract;
}

Also the model which is to be intracted with will implement the ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\Traits\HasSocialInteractions trait.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use ToneflixCode\SocialInteractions\Traits\HasSocialInteractions;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    use HasSocialInteractions;
}

At this point you're are ready to begin creating social interactions with your models.

Likes

To leave a like, call the leaveReaction method on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait, passing the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait as the first parameter and either of 0, 1, false, true as the second. If a model is already liked, a second call will unlike the model. Likes are only available if the enable_reactions config property is set to false, otherwise this will set the reaction to the first reaction defined in the available_reactions config property.

  1. Like

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $user->leaveReaction($post, true);
  2. Unlike

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $user->leaveReaction($post, false);

Check if a model has been liked

To check if a model has been liked, call the isLiked method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$liked = $post->isLiked($user);

Dislikes

To leave a dislike, call the leaveReaction method on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait, passing the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait as the first parameter and dislikee as the second. If a model is already disliked, a second call will undislike the model. Dislikes are only available if the enable_dislikes config property is set to true.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$reaction = $user->leaveReaction($post, 'dislike');

Check if a model has been disliked

To check if a model has been disliked, call the isDisliked method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$disliked = $post->isDisliked($user);

Reactions

Reactions can be enabled and available reactions can be set in the config file. To leave a reaction, call the leaveReaction method on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait, passing the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait as the first parameter and the desired reaction as the second.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$reaction = $user->leaveReaction($post, 'love');
$user = \App\Models\User::find(3);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$reaction = $user->leaveReaction($post, 'haha');

Check if a model has been reacted to

To check if a model has been reacted to, call the isReacted method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$reacted = $post->isReacted($user);

Votes

To vote for a model, call the giveVote method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the first parameter and either of true or false as the second. If a model is already voted and the multiple_votes config property is set to true, subsequent calls will add to the vote count of the model. By default, voted models can not be unvoted for, to allow unvotes, set the enable_unvote config property to true.

  1. Vote

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->giveVote($user, true);
  2. Unvote

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->giveVote($user, false);

Check if a model has been voted for

To check if a model has been voted for, call the isVoted method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$voted = $post->isVoted($user);

Saving

To mark a model as saved, call the toggleSave method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the first parameter and either of true or false as the second.

  1. Save

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->toggleSave($user, true);
  2. Unsave

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->toggleSave($user, false);

Check if a model has been saved

To check if a model has been saved, call the isSaved method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$saved = $post->isSaved($user);

Optionally, you can pass the name of a list as a second parameter to check if the model has been saved to the list.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
$post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);

$saved = $post->isSaved($user, 'default');

Saving to a list

To save a model to a list, call the toggleSaveToList method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the first parameter and either of true or false as the second and the list name as the third.

  1. Save

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->toggleSaveToList($user, true, 'default');
    $reaction = $post->toggleSaveToList($user, true, 'reusable');
  2. Unsave

    $user = \App\Models\User::find(1);
    $post = \App\Models\Post::find(2);
    
    $reaction = $post->toggleSaveToList($user, false, 'default');
    $reaction = $post->toggleSaveToList($user, false, 'reusable');

Retrieving your lists

To retrieve the names of all your saved lists, access the saved_social_lists property on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait. You get a collection with all the names.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);

$lists = $user->saved_social_lists;

Deleting lists

To delete a saved list, call the deleteSavedSocialList method on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait, passing the name of the desired list to delete as the only parameter or true to delete all lists.

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);

$lists = $user->deleteSavedSocialList('default');

OR

$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);

$lists = $user->deleteSavedSocialList(true);

Accessing the interaction relationship

The interaction relationship can be accessed from the socialInteractions property or method (if you need finer grain control and access to the Eloquent builder instance) on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$interactions = $post->socialInteractions;

OR

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$interactions = $post->socialInteractions()->orderBy('id')->paginate(10);

Accessing the interactor relationship

The interactor relationship which represent the model (or user) that interacted with the model can be accessed from the interactor property or method (if you need finer grain control and access to the Eloquent builder instance) on the SocialInteraction model.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$interactions = $post->socialInteractions;

foreach ($interactions as $interaction) {
    $interactor = $interaction->interactor;
}

Accessing the interaction relationship for the interacting model

The interaction relationship for the interacting model can be accessed from the socialInteracts property or method (if you need finer grain control and access to the Eloquent builder instance) on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$interactions = $post->socialInteracts;

OR

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$interactions = $post->socialInteracts()->orderBy('id')->paginate(10);

Get Model Interaction for a specific Interactor

To get the model interaction, call the modelInteraction method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter. Since the package uses a single model for all interactions, this will return the SocialInteraction model for the current model with the HasSocialInteractions trait.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);
$user = \App\Models\User::find(1);

$interaction = $post->modelInteraction($user);

Get Interaction Data

For convinience, the package also provides the socialInteractionData method on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait to help you quickly get the interaction stats for the model as a Laravel collection, passing the model with the CanSocialInteract trait as the only parameter will also attach the interaction states for the interacting model.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$data = $post->socialInteractionData();

Example Output:

Array[
    'votes' => 10,
    'likes' => 5,
    'dislikes' => 1,
    'reactions' => 7,
]

With Interactor:

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);
$user = \App\Models\User::find(3);

$data = $post->socialInteractionData($user);

Example Output:

Array[
    'votes' => 10,
    'likes' => 5,
    'dislikes' => 1,
    'reactions' => 7,
    'saved' => true,
    'voted' => true,
    'liked' => false,
    'reacted' => true,
    'ownvotes' => 1,
    'disliked' => false,
    'reaction' => 'love',
    'reaction_color' => 'red',
    'state_icons' => [
        'saved' => 'fas fa-bookmark',
        'voted' => 'fas fa-thumbs-up',
        'disliked' => 'far fa-thumbs-down',
        'reaction' => 'fas fa-heart',
    ],
]

Accessing saved items relationship

The saved items relationship can be accessed from the socialInteractionSaves property or method (if you need finer grain control and access to the Eloquent builder instance) on the model with the HasSocialInteractions trait.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$saves = $post->socialInteractionSaves;

OR

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$saves = $post->socialInteractionSaves()->whereBetween('created_at', ['2024-00-12 11:22:01', '2024-07-12 11:22:01'])->paginate(10);

Accessing saved items relationship for the interacting model

The saved items relationship for the interacting model can be accessed from the savedSocialInteracts property or method (if you need finer grain control and access to the Eloquent builder instance) on the model with the CanSocialInteract trait.

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$saves = $post->savedSocialInteracts;

OR

$post = \App\Models\Post::find(1);

$saves = $post->savedSocialInteracts()->whereBetween('created_at', ['2024-00-12 11:22:01', '2024-07-12 11:22:01'])->paginate(10);
