Add Comments to your Laravel Application with the Commenter Package


The Commenter package for Laravel "is a feature-rich modern package that addresses all your commenting needs in a Laravel application." The package includes an admin panel to manage comments across all "commentable" models.

Commenter demo project example

The package models include a Commenter, and a Commentable model. You can use this package with your Eloquent models by implementing the CommentableContract and CommenterContract interfaces. The following example illustrates that Post is commentable, and User is a commenter:
use LakM\Comments\Concerns\Commentable;
use LakM\Comments\Contracts\CommentableContract;

class Post extends Model implements CommentableContract
{
use Commentable;
}

And the Commentable interface on the User model, for example:
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use LakM\Comments\Concerns\Commenter;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable, Commenter;
}

Commenter features:

  • Simple, modern, and user-friendly interfaces.
  • Mobile responsiveness.
  • WYSIWYG editor.
  • Syntax highlighting.
  • Robust security features.
  • Effective spam prevention.
  • Reaction options.
  • Support for threaded replies.
  • User mention functionality.
  • Display a list of users who reacted (auth mode only).
  • Pagination.
  • Support is available for both authentication mode and guest mode (mutually exclusive).
  • Advanced filtering and sorting options.
  • Responsive design using a combination of Livewire and Alpine.js.
  • Optimized performance. And much more.

To get started with this package, I recommend reading the Commenter documentation. You can view the source code on GitHub, and the package author also has a demo project to get a basic overview of this package.
