Provides a trait to allow rating of any Eloquent models within your app for Laravel 6/7/8/9.

Ratings could be fivestar style, or simple +1/-1 style.


## Compatability

Laravel versions < 6.x should use the 1.x releases

Laravel versions >= 6.x and < 8.x should use 2.x+ releases

Laravel versions >= 8.x should use the 3.x releases

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
composer require willvincent/laravel-rateable
```

You can publish and run the migrations with:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="willvincent\Rateable\RateableServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate
```
As with most Laravel packages, if you're using Laravel 5.5 or later, the package will be auto-discovered ([learn more if this is new to you](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518)).

If you're using a version of Laravel before 5.5, you'll need to register the Rateable *service provider*. In your `config/app.php` add `'willvincent\Rateable\RateableServiceProvider'` to the end of the `$providers` array.

````php
'providers' => [

    Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
    Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    ...
    willvincent\Rateable\RateableServiceProvider::class,

],
````

## Usage

In order to mark a model as "rateable", import the `Rateable` trait.

````php
<?php namespace App;

use willvincent\Rateable\Rateable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Rateable;

}
````

Now, your model has access to a few additional methods.

First, to add a rating to your model:

````php
$post = Post::first();

// Add a rating of 5, from the currently authenticated user
$post->rate(5);
dd(Post::first()->ratings);
````

Or perhaps you want to enforce that users can only rate each model one time,
and if they submit a new value, it will _update_ their existing rating.

In that case, you'll want to use `rateOnce()` instead:
```php
$post = Post::first();

// Add a rating of 3, or change the user's existing rating _to_ 3.
$post->rateOnce(3);
dd(Post::first()->ratings);
````

Once a model has some ratings, you can fetch the average rating:
````php
$post = Post::first();

dd($post->averageRating);
// $post->averageRating() also works for this.
````

Also, you can fetch the rating percentage. This is also how you enforce a maximum rating value.

````php
$post = Post::first();

dd($post->ratingPercent(10)); // Ten star rating system
// Note: The value passed in is treated as the maximum allowed value.
// This defaults to 5 so it can be called without passing a value as well.

// $post->ratingPercent(5) -- Five star rating system totally equivilent to:
// $post->ratingPercent()
````

You can also fetch the sum or average of ratings for the given rateable item the current (authorized) has voted/rated.
````php
$post = Post::first();

// These values depend on the user being logged in,
// they use the Auth facade to fetch the current user's id.


dd($post->userAverageRating); 

dd($post->userSumRating);
````

Want to know how many ratings a model has?
```php
dd($post->timesRated());

// Or if you specifically want the number of unique users that have rated the model:
dd($post->usersRated());
```
