Laravel User Guest Like

A Laravel package to allow guests and users to like models.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kilobyteno/laravel-user-guest-like

Publish the package:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Kilobyteno\LaravelUserGuestLike\LaravelUserGuestLikeServiceProvider"

Or you can publish manually:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="user-guest-like-config"
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="user-guest-like-migrations"
php artisan migrate

The content of the config file that will be published to config/user-guest-like.php:

return [

    // Let guests like a model
    'guest_like_enabled' => true,

    // Save IP and user agent to database
    'user_tracking_enabled' => false,

];

Usage

Add the HasUserGuestLike trait to the model:

use Kilobyteno\LaravelUserGuestLike\Traits\HasUserGuestLike;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class EloquentModel extends Model
{
    use HasUserGuestLike;
}

Like a model as user (or guest):

$user = auth()->check() ? auth()->user() : null;
// Passing the user as null will like as a guest (if enabled)
$model->like($user);

Dislike a model as user (or guest):

$user = auth()->check() ? auth()->user() : null;
// Passing the user as null will like as a guest (if enabled)
$model->dislike($user);

Check if a user has liked a model (or guest has liked a model):

$user = auth()->check() ? auth()->user() : null;
// Passing the user as null will check if the guest (if enabled) has liked the model
if($model->hasLiked($user)) {
    // User has liked the model
}

Display the number of likes for a model:

$model->likes()->count();
