Reactant Facade

In examples below User model is a Reacterable and Comment model is a Reactable.

PHP

$reactantFacade = $comment->viaLoveReactant();

Check if Reactable Reacted by Reacterable

Determine if Comment reacted by User with any type of reaction.

PHP

$isReacted = $reactantFacade->isReactedBy($user);

$isNotReacted = $reactantFacade->isNotReactedBy($user);

Determine if Comment reacted by User with exact type of reaction.

PHP

$isReacted = $reactantFacade->isReactedBy($user, 'Like');

$isNotReacted = $reactantFacade->isNotReactedBy($user, 'Like');

Determine if Comment reacted by User with exact type of reaction and exact rate value.

PHP

$isReacted = $reactantFacade->isReactedBy($user, 'Like', 4.0);

$isNotReacted = $reactantFacade->isNotReactedBy($user, 'Like', 4.0);

Reaction Counters

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

Get reaction counters of reactant

PHP

$reactionCounters = $reactantFacade->getReactionCounters();

Get reaction counter of exact type

PHP

$reactionCounter = $reactantFacade->getReactionCounterOfType('Like');

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 = $reactantFacade->getReactionTotal();

More details read in ReactionTotal API.
