Polycomments

Simple hookable commenting system leveraging polymorphic relationships. Early super rudimentary pre-alfa. May change drastically at any time., _(*1)

Installation

Step 1: Backend

Install via composer:

composer require ptrml/polycomments "dev-master"

Register the service provider in conf/app.php:

'providers' => [
...
Ptrml\Polycomments\PolycommentsServiceProvider::class,
...
],

Publish stuff and migrate:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=polycomments

php artisan migrate

Implement both the interface and trait on your models:

class Post extends Model implements CommentableInterface
{
    use Commentable;
    ...
}

(Switch the Post model with your own)

Step 2: Frontend

Append PolycommentsController.php with your calls (Post is an example model):

class PolycommentsController extends Controller
{
    function commentPost(Request $request,$id)
    {
        Commenter::comment(Post::find($id),$request);
        return redirect("home");
    }
    ...
}

(Switch the Post model with your own), _(*3)

Append routes:

Route::post('/polycomments/post/{id}', 'PolycommentsController@commentPost')->name('polycomments.post');

Add the premade comments block to the views of your model:

@include('polycomments::polycomments',['polycomments_subject'=>$post,'polycomments_route'=>'polycomments.post'])

(polycomments_subject is your models instance, polycomments_route is the named route)
