ReactionType with name Like not exists.

[alquialrium]

Hello, I'm starting use de package, I'm developing a small twitter clone, now trying to do like or dislike to each tweet but I'm having troubbles.

My Like Button

`{!! Form::open(['route' => 'answers.like', 'class' => 'd-inline transparent']) !!}
 {{ Form::hidden('tweet_id', $tweet->id) }}
 {{ Form::hidden('user_id', auth()->user()->id) }}
     <button type="submit" title="{{ __('I like') }}" class="fs-5 d-inline nav-link text-gray-500 fw-light" href="#">
         <i class="far fa-heart"></i>
      </button>
 {!! Form::close() !!}
 `

My Route

`Route::post('tweets/like', [App\Http\Controllers\TweetController::class, 'like'])->name('tweets.like');`

My Controller

`public function like(Request $request)
{
    $user = User::findOrFail($request->user_id);
    $tweet = Tweet::findOrFail($request->tweet_id);

    $user->viaLoveReacter()->reactTo($tweet, 'Like');
}`

My Tweet Model

`namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

use Cog\Contracts\Love\Reactable\Models\Reactable as ReactableInterface;
use Cog\Laravel\Love\Reactable\Models\Traits\Reactable;

class Tweet extends Model implements ReactableInterface
{
use HasFactory, Reactable;

   protected $fillable = [
        'user_id',
        'tweet',
        'photo',
        'likes',
        'status',
];`

My User Model

`namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;

use Overtrue\LaravelFollow\Traits\Follower;
use Overtrue\LaravelFollow\Traits\Followable;

use Cog\Contracts\Love\Reacterable\Models\Reacterable as ReacterableInterface;
use Cog\Laravel\Love\Reacterable\Models\Traits\Reacterable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail, ReacterableInterface

{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable, Follower, Followable, Reacterable;

    protected $fillable = [
        'first_name',
        'last_name',
        'username',
       'email',
       'password',
];`

Hi, @alquialrium! Have you created all reaction types you need?
https://laravel-love.readme.io/docs/manage-reaction-types

[alquialrium]

I had executed this command php artisan love:reaction-type-add --default but for some reason it wasn't working, I executed it again and it already does the record in the database. Thank you

[antonkomarev]

@alquialrium This command creates Like and Dislike reaction types. If you allowing only likes, you can drop Dislike reaction type.

[alquialrium]

Thank you!

Another question, when I run php artisan miagrate:fresh --seed I have to run the command again php artisan love:reaction-type-add --default?

[antonkomarev]

Yes, after refreshing database you have to add reaction types because they are stored in database.

You can create your own seeder which will create reaction types you need, that command is pretty simple.
