Add notes to any Eloquent model

Attach polymorphic notes to any Eloquent model with support for tagging, privacy control, and bulk operations. Notes are stored in a model_notes table and ordered newest-first by default.

Installation

composer require centrex/laravel-model-note
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-model-note-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Usage

1. Add the trait

use Centrex\LaravelModelNote\HasNotes;

class Order extends Model
{
    use HasNotes;
}

2. Add notes

$order->addNote('Payment confirmed by finance.');

// Private note (not shown to customers)
$order->addPrivateNote('Suspicious address — flag for review.');

// Tagged note
$order->addNote('Dispatched via DHL.', tag: 'shipping');
$order->addNote('Customer called in.', isPrivate: true, tag: 'support');

3. Read notes

// Latest note content (shortcut)
echo $order->note();

// Latest note object, optionally filtered by tag
$note = $order->lastNote('shipping');
echo $note->time_ago;  // "2 hours ago"

// All notes
$order->allNotes();
$order->allNotes('support');   // filtered by tag

// Private notes only
$order->privateNotes();
$order->privateNotes('shipping');

4. Delete notes

$order->deleteNote(5);
$order->deleteNote([5, 6, 7]);
$order->deleteNoteByTag('shipping');
$order->deleteAllNotes();

5. Query scopes on ModelNote

use Centrex\LaravelModelNote\ModelNote;

ModelNote::private()->get();
ModelNote::public()->get();
ModelNote::withTag('support')->get();
