Laravel Commenting system

Persistant, application-wide commenting system for Laravel.

Installation

1. composer require jafaripur/laravel-comment
2. Add jafaripur\LaravelComments\ServiceProvider to the array of providers in config/app.php.
3. Publish the config file by running php artisan vendor:publish . The config file will give you control over which storage engine to use as well as some storage-specific comments.
4. Optional: add 'Comments' => 'jafaripur\LaravelComments\Facade' to the array of aliases in config/app.php.

Usage

You can either access the comments store via its facade or inject it by type-hinting towards the abstract class jafaripur\LaravelComments\CommentStore.

The read function Closure give field list which want to add to query condition.

<?php
Comment::read(function($fields) use ($item){
    $fields->namespace = $item['namespace'];
    $fields->threadId = $item['thread_id'];
    $fields->parentId = $item['parent_id'];
    $fields->approved = $item['approved'];
    $fields->userId = $item['user_id'];
});
Comment::save(function($fields) use ($item){
    $fields->namespace = $item['namespace'];
    $fields->threadId = $item['thread_id'];
    $fields->content = $item['content'];
    $fields->parentId = $item['parent_id'];
    $fields->approved = $item['approved'];
    $fields->userId = $item['user_id'];
});
Comment::delete($id);
Comment::approve($id);
Comment::unapprove($id);
?>

Database storage

Using Migration File

If you use the database store you need to run php artisan migrate --path=vendor/jafaripur/laravel-comment/src/migrations to generate the table.

Example

If you need more fine-tuned control over which data gets queried, you can use the setConstraint method which takes a closure with two arguments:

• $query is the query builder instance
• $insert is a boolean telling you whether the query is an insert or not. If it is an insert, you usually don't need to do anything to $query.

<?php
Comment::setConstraint(function($query, $insert) {
    if ($insert) return;
    $query->where(/* ... */);
});
?>

Custom stores

This package uses the Laravel Manager class under the hood, so it's easy to add your own custom session store driver if you want to store in some other way. All you need to do is extend the abstract CommentStore class, implement the abstract methods and call Comment::extend.

<?php
class MyStore extends jafaripur\LaravelComments\CommentStore {
    // ...
}
Comment::extend('mystore', function($app) {
    return $app->make('MyStore');
});
?>
