README

Laravel Commentable adds a simple way to allow comments on any Eloquent model. It's modern, lightweight, and compatible with Laravel 10 and 11.

Features

• Add comments to any Eloquent model
• Polymorphic relationship
• User tracking (via user_id)
• Publishable migration and config
• Clean and extensible architecture
• Compatible with Laravel 10 & 11

Installation

composer require webudvikleren/laravel-commentable

Publish the migration (optional)

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=commentable-config
php artisan migrate

If you don’t publish the migration, Laravel will auto-load it from the package.

Usage

Step 1: Add the trait to your model

use Webudvikleren\Commentable\Traits\Commentable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Commentable;
}

Step 2: Add comments

$post = Post::find(1);

$post->comments()->create([
    'body' => 'This is a comment.',
    'user_id' => auth()->id(),
]);

Step 3: Access comments

foreach ($post->comments as $comment) {
    echo $comment->body;
}

Comment Model

By default, comments are stored in the comments table and use the provided Webudvikleren\Commentable\Models\Comment model.

You can override this in your app if needed by extending the model and binding it in a service provider.

Configuration

You can publish the config file to override defaults:

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

Example config/commentable.php (coming soon).
