At the time of launch, Laravel Comments' main features include:
- A beautiful Livewire component to display comments
- markdown submission is supported, we'll render it as html
- code snippets that appear in comments will automatically be highlighted
- users can react to comments (👍, ❤️, or any emoji you want)
- optionally, you enable a comment approval flow
- sane API for creating your own commenting UI
- Livewire components out of the box
At the core of this package is the HasComments
trait you'll add to models:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;use Spatie\Comments\Models\Concerns\HasComments; class Post extends Model{ use HasComments;}
Which then enables you to manage comments and reactions on a model:
$post->comment("I've got a feeling"); $comment->react('😍');
While the above is a barebones example, the package also comes with a fully baked Laravel Livewire component, which also supports one level of nested comments:
Note that you must pay for a premium license to use this package. To get started, check out the Laravel Comments documentation.
