Hi Dev,
Now, let's see tutorial of laravel 9 comment system example tutorial. We will use Laravel 9 Nested Comment and Reply System Tutorial. We will use Build a Laravel 9 Live Commenting System. if you want to see example of How to Create Comment Nesting in Laravel 9? then you are a right place. So, let's follow few step to create example of Create Multilevel Nested Comment System in Laravel 9.
Here,i will give you a simple and easy example how to use implement comment system in laravel 8 in laravel simply follow my all steps.
So, in this example I will create two tables for one is posts and another is comments using the migration command.
Let's start following example:
Post Detail Page:
Post Page:
Step 1: Download Laravel
First of all let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Update Database Configuration
In second step, we will make database configuration for example database name, username, password etc for our crud application of laravel 5.7. So let's open .env file and fill all details like as bellow:
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name(blog)
DB_USERNAME=here database username(root)
DB_PASSWORD=here database password(root)
Step 3: Create Post and Comment Table
we are going to create comment system from scratch. so we have to create migration for "posts" and "comments" table using Laravel 5.7 php artisan command, so first fire bellow command:
php artisan make:migration create_posts_comments_table
After this command you will find one file in following path "database/migrations" and you have to put bellow code in your migration file for create tables.
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreatePostsCommentsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('title');
$table->text('body');
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
});
Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('post_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('parent_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
$table->text('body');
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
Schema::dropIfExists('comments');
}
}
Now you have to run this migration by following command:
php artisan migrate
Step 4: Create Auth
in this step, we need to create laravel auth scaffolding using auth command. laravel provide default user authentication. so simply run bellow command:
php artisan make:auth
Step 5: Create Model
In this step, we need to create model Post and Comment for each table. we also need to make code for laravel relationship for comments, replies, user. So create both model as bellow.
Run bellow command to create Post model:
php artisan make:model Post
app/Post.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Post extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = ['title', 'body'];
/**
* The has Many Relationship
*
* @var array
*/
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class)->whereNull('parent_id');
}
}
Run bellow command to create Comment model:
php artisan make:model Comment
app/Comment.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Comment extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = ['user_id', 'post_id', 'parent_id', 'body'];
/**
* The belongs to Relationship
*
* @var array
*/
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
/**
* The has Many Relationship
*
* @var array
*/
public function replies()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class, 'parent_id');
}
}
Step 6: Create Controller
In this step, now we should create new controller as PostController and CommentController. So run bellow command and create new controller. bellow controller for create resource controller.
Create Post Controller using bellow command:
php artisan make:controller PostController
app/Http/Controllers
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Post;
class PostController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::all();
return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
return view('posts.create');
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'title'=>'required',
'body'=>'required',
]);
Post::create($request->all());
return redirect()->route('posts.index');
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
$post = Post::find($id);
return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
}
Create Post Controller using bellow command:
php artisan make:controller CommentController
app/Http/CommentController
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Comment;
class CommentController extends Controller
{
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'body'=>'required',
]);
$input = $request->all();
$input['user_id'] = auth()->user()->id;
Comment::create($input);
return back();
}
}
Step 7: Create Blade Files
In last step. In this step we have to create just blade files. So mainly we have to create layout file and then create new folder "posts" then create blade files for comment system. So finally you have to create following bellow blade file:
1) index.blade.php
2) show.blade.php
3) create.blade.php
4) commentsDisplay.blade.php
resources/views/posts/index.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-12">
<h1>Manage Posts</h1>
<a href="{{ route('posts.create') }}" class="btn btn-success" style="float: right">Create Post</a>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<th width="80px">Id</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th width="150px">Action</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach($posts as $post)
<tr>
<td>{{ $post->id }}</td>
<td>{{ $post->title }}</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ route('posts.show', $post->id) }}" class="btn btn-primary">View Post</a>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
resources/views/posts/show.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">

<p>
{{ $post->body }}

<hr />
<h4>Display Comments</h4>
@include('posts.commentsDisplay', ['comments' => $post->comments, 'post_id' => $post->id])

</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
resources/views/posts/commentsDisplay.blade.php
@foreach($comments as $comment)
<div class="display-comment" @if($comment->parent_id != null) style="margin-left:40px;" @endif>
<strong>{{ $comment->user->name }}</strong>
<p>{{ $comment->body }}</p>
<a href="" id="reply"></a>
<form method="post" action="{{ route('comments.store') }}">
@csrf
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="body" class="form-control" />
