Reactant

📘

Prefer to use Reactant Facade instead of lower level Reactant model for the API simplicity and easier future migration process.

Get Reactable

PHP

$reactable = $reactant->getReactable();

Returns Comment, Post, User or any other model which acting as this Reactant.

Check if Reactant Reacted by Reacter

Determine if Reacter reacted to Reactant with any type of reaction.

PHP

$isReacted = $reactant->isReactedBy($reacter);

$isNotReacted = $reactant->isNotReactedBy($reacter);

Determine if Reacter reacted to Reactant with exact type of reaction.

PHP

$reactionType = ReactionType::fromName('Like');

$isReacted = $reactant->isReactedBy($reacter, $reactionType);

$isNotReacted = $reactant->isNotReactedBy($reacter, $reactionType);

Determine if Reacter reacted to Reactant with exact type of reaction and exact rate value.

PHP

$reactionType = ReactionType::fromName('Like');

$isReacted = $reactant->isReactedBy($reacter, $reactionType, 4.0);

$isNotReacted = $reactant->isNotReactedBy($reacter, $reactionType, 4.0);

Get Reactions Received by Reactant

PHP

$reactions = $reactant->getReactions();

Reaction Counters

Each Reactant has many counters (one for each reaction type) with aggregated data.

Get reaction counters of reactant

PHP

$reactionCounters = $reactant->getReactionCounters();

Get reaction counter of exact type

PHP

$reactionType = ReactionType::fromName('Like');

$reactionCounter = $reactant->getReactionCounterOfType($reactionType);

More details read in ReactionCounter API.

Reaction Totals

Each Reactant has one total with aggregated data. Total is sum of counters of all reaction types.

Get reaction total of reactant

PHP

$reactionTotal = $reactant->getReactionTotal();

More details read in ReactionTotal API.
