To associate reactor with a model, the model must implement the HasReactor trait:

namespace App\Models;

use BalajiDharma\LaravelReaction\Traits\HasReactor;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasReactor;
	

To associate reaction with a model, the model must implement the HasReaction trait:

<?php
namespace BalajiDharma\LaravelForum\Models;

use BalajiDharma\LaravelReaction\Traits\HasReaction;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Thread extends Model
{
    use HasReaction;
	

Add Reaction

use the react method to save the reaction

<?php

$thread->react($type, $name, $user = null, $value = null);

// React with current user
$thread->react('likes', 'like');

$thread->react('likes', 'unlike');

$thread->react('stars', 'star', null, 5);

// React by another user
$user = User::find(1);
$thread->react('likes', 'like', $user);
	

Remove Reactions

<?php

$thread->removeReaction($type, $name = null, $user = null);

// Remove reactions by type
$thread->removeReaction('likes');

// Remove reactions by type and name
$thread->removeReaction('likes', 'like');

$thread->removeReaction('likes', 'unlike');

// Remove reactions by user
$user = User::find(1);
$thread->react('likes', 'like', $user);
	

Get Reactions

<?php

$thread->getReactions($type, $name = null, $user = null);

// Get reactions by type
$thread->getReactions('likes');

// Get reactions by type and name
$thread->getReactions('likes', 'like');

$thread->getReactions('likes', 'unlike');

// Get reactions by user
$user = User::find(1);
$thread->getReactions('likes', null, $user);
$thread->getReactions('likes', 'like', $user);
	

Reaction summary

<?php

$thread->reactionSummary($type);

// example
$article->reactionSummary('likes')->toArray();
// output
/*
[
    "like" => 8,
    "unlike" => -2,
]
*/
	

Check if user reacted

<?php
// check for current user
$thread->isReactBy('likes');

// check for other user
$user = User::find(1);
$thread->isReactBy('likes', $user);
