Getting started

Installation

Install the package, publish the config, and run the migrations.

composer require usamamuneerchaudhary/commentify
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=commentify-config
php artisan migrate

Livewire 4 and Flux come with the package. You need PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 12 or 13.

Add the Commentable trait to any model that should receive comments:

use Usamamuneerchaudhary\Commentify\Traits\Commentable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Commentable;
}

Then drop the Livewire component into the view that renders it.

<livewire:comments :model="$article" />

That is the whole integration. Everything after this page is configuration: guests, markdown, likes, reporting, and (with Pro) the JSON API, React, Vue, spam, and Filament.

How this was added

app/Models/DocPage.php

use Usamamuneerchaudhary\Commentify\Traits\Commentable;

class DocPage extends Model
{
    use Commentable;
}

the Blade view

<livewire:comments :model="$docPage" />

Pro JSON API registry

// config/commentify-pro.php
'commentables' => [
    'doc-pages' => \App\Models\DocPage::class,
],

This surface relabels the thread via the translator. No forked views.

Suggestion: mention that migrate picks up the package migrations automatically, so there is no vendor:publish --tag=commentify-migrations step unless you want to edit them. I published them out of habit and ended up with duplicates.

Might be worth saying explicitly that $article has to be an Eloquent model instance, not an ID. I passed an ID first and the error message was not obvious.
