A dead-simple comments package for Laravel.

This package provides an incredibly simple comment system for your Laravel applications.

If you're looking for a package with UI components, I highly recommend using Spatie's laravel-comments package which comes with Livewire support out of the box.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require ryangjchandler/laravel-comments

The package automatically registers migrations so there's no need to publish anything, just run them.

php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="comments-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    'model' => \RyanChandler\Comments\Models\Comment::class,

    'user' => \App\Models\User::class,

];

Usage

Start by using the RyanChandler\Comments\Concerns\HasComments trait on your model.

use RyanChandler\Comments\Concerns\HasComments;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasComments;
}

This trait adds a comments(): MorphMany relationship on your model. It also adds a new comment() method that can be used to quickly add a comment to your model.

$post = Post::first();

$post->comment('Hello, world!');

By default, the package will use the authenticated user's ID as the "commentor". You can customise this by providing a custom User to the comment() method.

$post->comment('Hello, world!', user: User::first());

The package also supports parent -> children relationships for comments. This means that a comment can belongTo another comment.

$post->comment('Thanks for commenting!', parent: Comment::find(2));

Testing

composer test
