Add Comments to your Laravel Application with the Commenter Package
Last updated on by Paul Redmond
The Commenter package for Laravel "is a feature-rich modern package that addresses all your commenting needs in a Laravel application." The package includes an admin panel to manage comments across all "commentable" models.
The package models include a Commenter, and a Commentable model. You can use this package with your Eloquent models by implementing the CommentableContract
and CommenterContract
interfaces. The following example illustrates that Post
is commentable, and User
is a commenter:
use LakM\Comments\Concerns\Commentable;use LakM\Comments\Contracts\CommentableContract; class Post extends Model implements CommentableContract{ use Commentable;}
And the Commentable
interface on the User
model, for example:
namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;use LakM\Comments\Concerns\Commenter; class User extends Authenticatable{ use HasFactory, Notifiable, Commenter;}
Commenter features:
- Simple, modern, and user-friendly interfaces.
- Mobile responsiveness.
- WYSIWYG editor.
- Syntax highlighting.
- Robust security features.
- Effective spam prevention.
- Reaction options.
- Support for threaded replies.
- User mention functionality.
- Display a list of users who reacted (auth mode only).
- Pagination.
- Support is available for both authentication mode and guest mode (mutually exclusive).
- Advanced filtering and sorting options.
- Responsive design using a combination of Livewire and Alpine.js.
- Optimized performance. And much more.
To get started with this package, I recommend reading the Commenter documentation. You can view the source code on GitHub, and the package author also has a demo project to get a basic overview of this package.
