Usage

Traits

Overtrue\LaravelVote\Traits\Voter

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Overtrue\LaravelVote\Traits\Voter;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Voter;
    
    <...>
}
Overtrue\LaravelVote\Traits\Voteable
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Overtrue\LaravelVote\Traits\Votable;

class Idea extends Model
{
    use Votable;

    <...>
}

API

$user = User::find(1);
$idea = Idea::find(2);

$user->vote($idea, 1); // upvote
$user->vote($idea, -1); // downvote
$user->upvote($idea);
$user->downvote($idea);

// with custom number of votes
$user->upvote($idea, 3);
$user->downvote($idea, 3);

// cancel vote
$user->cancelVote($idea);

// get my voted items
$user->getVotedItems(Idea::class) // Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder

// state
$user->hasVoted($idea); 
$idea->hasBeenVotedBy($user); 
Get model voters:
foreach($idea->voters as $user) {
    // echo $user->name;
}
Get user voted items.

User can easy to get Votable models to do what you want.

*note: this method will return a Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder *

$votedItemsQuery = $user->getVotedItems();

// filter votable_type
$votedIdeasQuery = $user->getVotedItems(Idea::class);

// fetch results
$votedIdeas = $user->getVoteItems(Idea::class)->get();
$votedIdeas = $user->getVoteItems(Idea::class)->paginate();
$votedIdeas = $user->getVoteItems(Idea::class)->where('title', 'Laravel-Vote')->get();

Aggregations

count relations

// all
$user->votes()->count(); 

// filter votable_type
$user->votes()->ofType(Idea::class)->count(); 

// voters count
$idea->voters()->count();

List with *_count attribute:

// for Voter models:
$users = User::withCount('votes')->get();
// or
$users = User::withCount('upvotes')->get();
// or
$users = User::withCount('downvotes')->get();
// or
$users = User::withCount(['votes', 'upvotes', 'downvotes'])->get();

foreach($users as $user) {
    echo $user->votes_count;
    echo $user->upvotes_count;
    echo $user->downvotes_count;
}

// for Votable models: 
$ideas = Idea::withCount('voters')->get();
// or
$ideas = Idea::withCount('upvoters')->get();
$ideas = Idea::withCount('downvoters')->get();

// or
$ideas = Idea::withCount(['voters', 'upvoters', 'downvoters'])->get();

foreach($ideas as $idea) {
    echo $idea->voters_count;
    echo $idea->upvoters_count;
    echo $idea->downvoters_count;
}

Votable sum votes

$user1->upvote($idea); // 1 (up)
$user2->upvote($idea); // 2 (up)
$user3->upvote($idea); // 3 (up)
$user4->downvote($idea); // -1 (down)

// sum(votes)
$idea->totalVotes(); // 2(3 - 1)

// sum(votes) where votes > 0
$idea->totalUpvotes(); // 3

// abs(sum(votes)) where votes < 0
$idea->totalDownvotes(); // 1

// appends aggregations attributes
$idea->appendsVotesAttributes();
$idea->toArray();
// result
[
    "id" => 1
    "title" => "Add socialite login support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    
    // these aggregations attributes will be appends.
    "total_votes" => 2
    "total_upvotes" => 3
    "total_downvotes" => 1
  ],

Attach voter vote status to votable collection

You can use Voter::attachVoteStatus(Collection $votables) to attach the voter vote status, it will set has_voted,has_upvoted and has_downvoted attributes to each model of $votables:

For model
$idea = Idea::find(1);

$user->attachVoteStatus($idea);

// result
[
    "id" => 1
    "title" => "Add socialite login support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "has_voted" => true
    "has_upvoted" => true
    "has_downvoted" => false
 ],
For Collection | Paginator | LengthAwarePaginator | array:
$ideas = Idea::oldest('id')->get();

$user->attachVoteStatus($ideas);

$ideas = $ideas->toArray();

// result
[
  [
    "id" => 1
    "title" => "Add socialite login support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "has_voted" => true
    "has_upvoted" => true
    "has_downvoted" => false
  ],
  [
    "id" => 2
    "title" => "Add php8 support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "has_voted" => true
    "has_upvoted" => false
    "has_downvoted" => true
  ],
  [
    "id" => 3
    "title" => "Add qrcode support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T03:26:16.000000Z"
    "has_voted" => false
    "has_upvoted" => false
    "has_downvoted" => false
  ],
]
For pagination
$ideas = Idea::paginate(20);

$user->attachVoteStatus($ideas->getCollection());

N+1 issue

To avoid the N+1 issue, you can use eager loading to reduce this operation to just 2 queries. When querying, you may specify which relationships should be eager loaded using the with method:

// Voter
use Tests\Idea;$users = User::with('votes')->get();

foreach($users as $user) {
    $user->hasVoted($idea);
}

// Votable
$ideas = Idea::with('voters')->get();

foreach($ideas as $idea) {
    $idea->hasBeenVotedBy($user);
}

// Votable votes
$ideas = Idea::withTotalVotes() // total_votes
        ->withTotalUpvotes() // total_upvotes
        ->withTotalDownvotes() // total_downvotes
        ->get();

// same as
// withVotesAttributes() = withTotalVotes() + withTotalUpvotes() + withTotalDownvotes() 
$ideas = Idea::withVotesAttributes()->get();

// result
[
  [
    "id" => 1
    "title" => "Add socialite login support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-19T07:01:10.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-19T07:01:10.000000Z"
    "total_votes" => 2
    "total_upvotes" => 3
    "total_downvotes" => 1
  ],
  [
    "id" => 2
    "title" => "Add PHP8 support."
    "created_at" => "2021-05-20T07:01:10.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2021-05-20T07:01:10.000000Z"
    "total_votes" => 1
    "total_upvotes" => 2
    "total_downvotes" => 1
  ]
]
