This package evolves every day under continuous development and integrates a diverse set of features. It's a must-have asset for Laravel enthusiasts and provides a seamless way to align your projects with basic comment models.

Meet the HasComment class, meticulously designed for integration into your model. This class automates essential tasks, ensuring a streamlined process for:

In the first step, you need to connect this class to your main model.

use JobMetric\Comment\HasComment;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasComment;
}

When you add this class, you will have to implement CommentContract to your model.

use JobMetric\Comment\Contracts\CommentContract;

class Post extends Model implements CommentContract
{
    use HasComment;
}

Now you have to use the needsCommentApproval function, and you have to add it to your model.

use JobMetric\Comment\Contracts\CommentContract;

class Post extends Model implements CommentContract
{
    use HasComment;

    public function needsCommentApproval(): bool
    {
        return false;
    }
}

How is it used?

You can now use the HasComment class for your model.
