Follow & Unfollow | Laravel 10 Tutorial #28

[@javajoint]

quick note for when you want to zoom in on something on your Mac: enable the assist where you can control - mousewheel to zoom in / out (not just for TablePlus, but the whole screen)

[@yelocode]

Thanks for sharing that Daniel. Just tried it and it works like a charm, wish I known about it sooner.

[@mrx7mrx]

Thanks for the lessons. Few suggestions:
1. For the unfollow route more common to use a DELETE method
2. For the User->follows method instead of using a query builder we can just use "return $this->followings->contains($user);"
And of course, it's better to use a Redis for those methods but I think it's not for beginners :)
thanks again for your job

Is there a way to actually get rid of the red line errors which arent an actual errors ? since laravel does not detect the "followings()" method

[@mohammadyassen2750]

you are a legend!

[@yelocode]

Thank you

[@ismaail]

Thanks.
Don't you think that the Follow/Unfollow button could be better if done with Livewire ?

[@yelocode]

I agree, makes more sense to use livewire on a real world application. I'm assuming viewers of this series are not familiar with livewire. But you gave me a great idea, I might redo these at the end of the course using livewire.
Thank you for watching

@@yelocode Damn, if you make this application in Livewire I would love it.

Bro, you helped me so much. I have question, is there easy way to implement microsoft oauth sign in in laravel?

[@yelocode]

I personally have never implemented microsoft oauth, For google and facebook Laravel Socialite is super easy and I used it multiple times but does not support microsoft.
Microsoft seems to have a tutorial on this learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/php?tutorial-step=4&tabs=aad if you haven't checked it out already.

Hello Bro
I got error in this section
Error
PHP 8.3.1
Call to a member function attach() on false
public function follow(User $user)
{
$follower = auth()->user();
$follower->followings()->attach($user);
return redirect()->route('users.show',$user->id)-with('success',"followed succesfully!");
}
Can you help with that please?

[@yelocode]

Looks like an issue with your relationship definition,
make sure you have the relationship defined on your User model.
public function followings()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'follower_user', 'follower_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps();
}

[@mirkamolrakhimov3406]

@yelocode thank you i fixed it now

[@darshanbhandary]

hello there's a small issue to be resolved in your user model
your function defination rises a expection stating call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany::exits()
if your are using the below code which i have commented out below so to solve it you can use other intruction it works fine
public function follows( User $user){
// return $this->following()->where('user_id', $user->id)->exists();
return $this->following()->where('follower_id', $this->id)->where('user_id', $user->id)->exists();
}
thank you
