Can i show in Blade

[mchisnerman3]

Hi, thanks for your awesome trait.
My question is:

How can i show in blade if a model has like?
Example: $model->HasLike();

Please forgive my poor english

Hi @mchisnerman3 !
Sure, you can do that in many ways I think. A solution I came up with is something like this:

$model
  ->likers()
  ->whereKey($user->getKey())
  ->exists();

$model
  ->likers()
  ->whereKey(auth()->id())
  ->exists();

Alternatively, you could implement an accessor in your markable model:

public function getHasLikeAttribute()
{
  return $this
    ->likers()
    ->whereKey(auth()->id())
    ->exists();
}

and use it in your blade component:

$model->has_like;

Beware: using the accessor will lead you to the N+1 problem when working with multiple models at once.
In that case, you could easily append the has_like attribute while executing the query:

$models = Model::query()
  ->withCount([
    'likers as has_like' => fn ($query) => $query->whereKey(auth()->id())
  ])
  ->withCasts([
	'has_like' => 'boolean'
  ])
  ->get();

Hope this can help you!
