Usage

There's basically three ways to use this package with your own model classes.

1. Include a trait

This is the easiest solution. Simply use the trait.

use Websight\Polyfaq\FaqTrait;

class MyModel extends Model {

    use FaqTrait;
    
}

That way, you can use $model->faqs to retrieve the collection of associated FAQs.

2. Make your own Polymorphic relation

If you don't like the field name faqs, you can also mix your own polymorphic relationship

class MyModel extends Model {

    /**
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphMany
     */
    public function coolfaqs()
    {
        return $this->morphMany('Websight\Polyfaq\Faq', 'faqable');
    }

}

That way, you would access them through $model->coolfaqs.

3. Use a many to many relationship

to be done
