Laravel Reviews

Ratings and reviews for the Laravel's Eloquent models

laravel-reviews

Users will be able to rate and review the reviewable models. Then these reviews can be approved and be shown.

You will be able to load the ratings average and count on a reviewable model and display them.

It will provide the ability to sort the reviewables based on their ratings average using the Bayesian formula.

Installation And Setup

Then publish the files that are supposed to be in your codebase in order to be customizable by you. They're the review model, its database migration, its database factory, the HTTP controller and the config file.

Next in your routes file, call the following macro on the router to register the default routes. You can use artisan route:list to see the routes.

Then, if you want to use the UI components, run the following command to install them. The components are written using Vue and Bootstrap.

The command also installs a stylesheet and a pack of font icons in the public directory to be used by the components. Don't forget to include the stylesheet in your views layout file.

If you haven't enabled the auto registration in the app.js file, you need to register the components manually.

`

Now let's setup the models. There are some traits that are meant to be imported in the review model, the user model and also the model(s) that are going to be reviewed. The review model's trait has already been imported in it when it was installed. But the other traits need to be installed manually.

You also have to specify the reviewable models in the reviews config file.

Finally, remember to run the database migrations and compile the view components. You can also use the provided factory to seed the reviews.

Usage

The Ratings Component

To display the average and the count of a reviewable model's ratings, you can call <x-ratings>.

Do not forget to load those values on the model by calling loadRatings() on it or eager load them when making the query by calling withRatings().

The Reviews Component

To display the list of the reviews of a reviewable model and also the form to post them, you can call <x-reviews>.

It also contains a call to the <x-ratings>.

You can link the ratings component that you possibly use in the upper part of the page to the reviews component by wrapping the ratings in an <a href="reviews"> referring the reviews component.

Ranking Based on The Ratings

Reviewable models can be sorted based on their ratings when they're queried. To do so call the highestRated() on the query. It uses the Bayesian average formula to calculate the score of each model and sort them from the highest to the lowest score.

The Approval of Reviews

The review model uses Approvable trait from mtvs/eloquent-approval to enable to manage which reviews are allowed to be displayed.
