Laravel Favorite System Example

hii guys,

In this example,I will show you that how to apply favorite system in laravel 6 application.

Here we will use laravel-follow package to apply favorite system in our laravel 6 application.

we will create post table with dummy record, to insert dummy record we will create post seeder.

Follow below step to perform favorite system in your laravel 6 application :

Step 1: Install Laravel 6


you will create laravel 6 fresh application.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Favorite

Step 2: Install Package

Now we require to install laravel-follow package for Favorite system, that way we can use it's method. So Open your terminal and run bellow command.

composer require overtrue/laravel-follow -vvv

Now open config/app.php file and add service provider.

config/app.php

'providers' => [

....

Overtrue\LaravelFollow\FollowServiceProvider::class,

]

Publish Assets

After that we need to run migration configure file that we it will automatic generate migrations. so let's run.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Overtrue\LaravelFollow\FollowServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Then just migrate it by using following command:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Create Posts Table

php artisan make:migration create_posts_table

now add 'title' field on posts table:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function up()

{

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('posts');

}

}

After this we need to create model for posts table by following path

App/Post.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

use Overtrue\LaravelFollow\Traits\CanBeFavorited;

class Post extends Model

{

use CanBeFavorited;

protected $fillable = ['title'];

}

Step 4: Create Dummy Posts Seeder

Now we require to create some dummy posts data on database table so create laravel seed using bellow command:

php artisan make:seeder CreateDummyPost

Now let's update CreateDummyPost seeds like as bellow:

database/seeds/CreateDummyPost.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

use App\Post;

class CreateDummyPost extends Seeder

{

/**

* Run the database seeds.

*

* @return void

*/

public function run()

{

$posts = ['ItSolutionStuff.com', 'Webprofile.me', 'HDTuto.com', 'Nicesnippets.com'];

foreach ($posts as $key => $value) {

Post::create(['title'=>$value]);

}

}

}

here we need to update User model. we need to use CanFavorite facade in User model. So let's update as bellow code.

App/User.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

use Overtrue\LaravelFollow\Traits\CanFavorite;

class User extends Authenticatable

{

use Notifiable;

use CanFavorite;

/**

* The attributes that are mass assignable.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $fillable = [

'name', 'email', 'password',

];

/**

* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $hidden = [

'password', 'remember_token',

];

/**

* The attributes that should be cast to native types.

*

* @var array

*/

protected $casts = [

'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',

];

}

Step 5: Create Routes

routes/web.php

Add below two routes in your web.php file like :

Route::get('posts', 'HomeController@posts')->name('posts');

Route::post('ajaxRequest', 'HomeController@ajaxRequest')->name('ajaxRequest');

Now in HomeController, we will add two new method posts() and ajaxRequest(). so let's see HomeController like as bellow:

app/Http/HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Post;

use App\User;

class HomeController extends Controller

{

/**

* Create a new controller instance.

*

* @return void

*/

public function __construct()

{

$this->middleware('auth');

}

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable

*/

public function index()

{

return view('home');

}

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function posts()

{

$posts = Post::get();

return view('posts', compact('posts'));

}

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function ajaxRequest(Request $request){

$post = Post::find($request->id);

$response = auth()->user()->toggleFavorite($post);

return response()->json(['success'=>$response]);

}

}

Step 6: Create Blade files and CSS File

Now in this step we will create posts.blade.php file and custom.css file. So let's create both files.

resources/views/posts.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" />

<link href="{{ asset('css/custom.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

<div class="container" style="background-color: pink">

<div class="row justify-content-center">

<div class="col-md-12">

<div class="card">

<div class="text-center" style="color: red;"><h3>Laravel Favorite System Example</h3></div>

<div class="card-body">

@if($posts->count())

@foreach($posts as $post)

<article class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3">

<div class="panel panel-info" data-id="{{ $post->id }}">

<div class="panel-body">

<a href="https://itsolutionstuff.com/upload/itsolutionstuff.png" title="Nature Portfolio" data-title="Amazing Nature" data-footer="The beauty of nature" data-type="image" data-toggle="lightbox">

<img src="https://itsolutionstuff.com/upload/itsolutionstuff.png" alt="Nature Portfolio" />

<span class="overlay"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></span>

</a>

</div>

<div class="panel-footer">

<h4><a href="#" title="Nature Portfolio">{{ $post->title }}</a></h4>

<span class="pull-right">

<span class="like-btn">

<i id="like{{$post->id}}" class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart {{ $post->favoriters()->count() > 0 ? 'like-post' : '' }}"></i>

</span>

</span>

</div>

</div>

</article>

@endforeach

@endif

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

$.ajaxSetup({

headers: {

'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')

}

});

$('i.glyphicon-heart, i.glyphicon-heart-empty').click(function(){

var id = $(this).parents(".panel").data('id');

var cObjId = this.id;

var cObj = $(this);

$.ajax({

type:'POST',

url:'/ajaxRequest',

data:{id:id},

success:function(data){

if(jQuery.isEmptyObject(data.success.attached)){

$(cObj).removeClass("like-post");

}else{

$(cObj).addClass("like-post");

}

}

});

});

$(document).delegate('*[data-toggle="lightbox"]', 'click', function(event) {

event.preventDefault();

$(this).ekkoLightbox();

});

});

</script>
