Get Reacterable for soft deleted (trashed) users

[Rafael Schwemmer]

We have a bunch of soft deleted users and would like to still count their reactions (shown as "Deleted User"). The easiest way to do this is to change the relationship in the Reacter Model from this:

public function reacterable(): MorphTo
{
        return $this->morphTo('reacterable', 'type', 'id', 'love_reacter_id');
}

to this:

public function reacterable(): MorphTo
{
        return $this->morphTo('reacterable', 'type', 'id', 'love_reacter_id')->withTrashed();
}

However, the class is final and can not be extended. It would be great if we could somehow pass a parameter to also get reactions from soft deleted users in a future release.

Can you call withTrashed like in issue you provided?

$item->getReacter()->reacterable()->withTrashed()->first()

@schwemmer another one way to do this:

1. Copy \Cog\Laravel\Love\Reacter\Models\Reacter model to your app namespace
2. Modify reacterable method to fit your needs
3. Override loveReacter method in your User (Reacterable) model (it should return custom Reacter model)

Thanks a lot @antonkomarev, the first way you mentioned above actually works great!
