Supports Laravel 8 and below, with no dependencies
Gives eloquent models:
- Friendships & Groups ability
- Interactions ability such as:
- Likes
- Favorites
- Votes (up/down)
- Subscribe
- Follow
- Ratings
Take this example:
$user1 = User::find(1);
$user2 = User::find(2);
$user1->befriend($user2);
$user2->acceptFriendRequest($user1);
// The messy breakup :(
$user2->unfriend($user1);
This light package gives Eloquent models the ability to manage their acquaintances and other cool useful stuff. You can easily design your social-like System (Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare...etc).
- Send Friend Requests
- Accept Friend Requests
- Deny Friend Requests
- Block a User
- Group Friends
- Rate a User or a Model, supporting multiple aspects
- Follow a User or a Model
- Like a User or a Model
- Subscribe a User or a Model
- Favorite a User or a Model
- Vote (Upvote & Downvote a User or a Model)
First, install the package through Composer.
$ composer require multicaret/laravel-acquaintances
Laravel 5.8 and up => version 2.x (branch master)
Laravel 5.7 and below => version 1.x (branch v1)
Then include the service provider inside config/app.php
.
'providers' => [
// ...
Multicaret\Acquaintances\AcquaintancesServiceProvider::class,
// ...
];
Publish config and migrations:
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Multicaret\Acquaintances\AcquaintancesServiceProvider"
Configure the published config in:
config\acquaintances.php
Finally, migrate the database to create the table:
$ php artisan migrate
Example:
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\Friendable;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanFollow;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanBeFollowed;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanLike;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanBeLiked;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanRate;
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\CanBeRated;
//...
class User extends Model
{
use Friendable;
use CanFollow, CanBeFollowed;
use CanLike, CanBeLiked;
use CanRate, CanBeRated;
//...
}
All available APIs are listed below for Friendships & Interactions.
Add Friendable
Trait to User model.
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Traits\Friendable;
class User extends Model
{
use Friendable;
}
$user->befriend($recipient);
$user->acceptFriendRequest($sender);
$user->denyFriendRequest($sender);
$user->unfriend($friend);
$user->blockFriend($friend);
$user->unblockFriend($friend);
$user->isFriendWith($friend);
$user->hasFriendRequestFrom($sender);
$user->hasSentFriendRequestTo($recipient);
$user->hasBlocked($friend);
$user->isBlockedBy($friend);
$user->getFriendship($friend);
$user->getAllFriendships();
$user->getPendingFriendships();
$user->getAcceptedFriendships();
$user->getDeniedFriendships();
$user->getBlockedFriendships();
$user->getFriendRequests();
$user->getFriendsCount();
$user->getPendingsCount();
$user->getMutualFriendsCount($otherUser);
To get a collection of friend models (ex. User) use the following methods:
$user->getFriends();
// or panigated
$user->getFriends($perPage = 20, $group_name);
// or paginated with certain fields
$user->getFriends($perPage = 20, $group_name, $fields = ['id','name']);
Parameters:
$perPage
: integer (default:0
), Get values paginated$group_name
: string (default:''
), Get collection of Friends in specific group paginated$fields
: array (default:['*']
), Specify the desired fields to query.
$user->getFriendsOfFriends();
// or
$user->getFriendsOfFriends($perPage = 20);
// or
$user->getFriendsOfFriends($perPage = 20, $fields = ['id','name']);
Parameters:
$perPage
: integer (default:0
), Get values paginated$fields
: array (default:['*']
), Specify the desired fields to query.
Get mutual Friends with another user
$user->getMutualFriends($otherUser);
// or
$user->getMutualFriends($otherUser, $perPage = 20);
// or
$user->getMutualFriends($otherUser, $perPage = 20, $fields = ['id','name']);
Parameters:
$other
: Model (required), The Other user model to check mutual friends with$perPage
: integer (default:0
), Get values paginated$fields
: array (default:['*']
), Specify the desired fields to query.
The friend groups are defined in the config/acquaintances.php
file. The package comes with a few default groups. To
modify them, or add your own, you need to specify a slug
and a key
.
// config/acquaintances.php
//...
'groups' => [
'acquaintances' => 0,
'close_friends' => 1,
'family' => 2
];
Since you've configured friend groups, you can group/ungroup friends using the following methods.
$user->groupFriend($friend, $group_name);
$user->ungroupFriend($friend, 'family');
$user->ungroupFriend($friend);
$user->getFriendsCount($group_name);
$user->getAllFriendships($group_name);
$user->getAcceptedFriendships($group_name);
$user->getPendingFriendships($group_name);
...

All the above mentioned methods of creating relationships, such as 'follow', 'like', 'unfollow', 'unlike', their syntax is as follows:
follow(array|int|\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $targets, $class = __CLASS__)
So you can call them like this:
// id / int|array
$user->follow(1); // targets: 1, $class = App\User
$user->follow(1, App\Post::class); // targets: 1, $class = App\Post
$user->follow([1, 2, 3]); // targets: [1, 2, 3], $class = App\User
// Model
$post = App\Post::find(7);
$user->follow($post); // targets: $post->id, $class = App\Post
// Model array
$posts = App\Post::popular()->get();
$user->follow($posts); // targets: [1, 2, ...], $class = App\Post
$followers = $user->followers;
$followers = $user->followers()->where('id', '>', 10)->get();
$followers = $user->followers()->orderByDesc('id')->get();
$followers = $user->followers()->paginate(10);
You may use the others in the same way.
use Multicaret\Acquaintances\Models\InteractionRelation;
// Get most popular object
// 1- All types
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular()->get();
// 2- subject_type = App\Post
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular(App\Post::class)->get();
// 3- subject_type = App\User
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular('user')->get();
// 4- subject_type = App\Post
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular('post')->get();
// 5- Pagination
$relations = InteractionRelation::popular(App\Post::class)->paginate(15);
