🧠 Usage

1. Add Trait to Your Model

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Zeynallow\Hashtags\Traits\HasTags;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasTags;

    protected $fillable = ['title', 'body'];
}

2. Automatically attach hashtags

$post = Post::create([
    'title' => 'About Laravel',
    'body' => 'This post is about #Laravel and #PHP. Thank you @zeynallow!'
]);

// Automatically attach hashtags
$post->attachHashtags();

// Now hashtags are stored in database and linked to the post
$post->hashtags; // Returns Hashtag model collection

3. Extract hashtags programmatically

use Zeynallow\Hashtags\HashtagExtractor;

$extractor = new HashtagExtractor();

$parsed = $extractor->parse("Testing #laravel @zeynal #php");

// Result:
[
    'hashtags' => ['laravel', 'php'],
    'mentions' => ['zeynal'],
]

4. Render in Blade with links

{{-- Simple usage --}}
{!! tagify($post->body) !!}

{{-- Without links --}}
{!! tagify($post->body, false) !!}

{{-- Using Blade directives --}}
@hashtags($post->body)
@hashtagLinks($post->body)

5. Helper functions
