## Installation

For Laravel 5.*

Pull in Package with Composer

composer require arubacao/friends

Register Service Provider

Include the service provider inside config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    ...
    Arubacao\Friends\FriendsServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

Run Migrations

Publish the migration and migrate the database

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Arubacao\Friends\FriendsServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate

After the migration, 1 new table will be created:

• friends — stores relationships/friendships between Users

The vendor:publish command will also create a friends.php file in your config directory.
The default configuration should work just fine for most applications.
Otherwise check out Configuration.

Prepare User Model

Include Friendable Trait in User Model

use Arubacao\Friends\Traits\Friendable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Friendable; // Add this trait to your model
    ...
}

And you are ready to go.

## Configuration

Configuration File friends.php (Optional)

Find friends.php in your config folder. Make sure you published the package beforehand.

• user_model — This is the applications User model used by Friends.
• users_table — This is the applications users table name used by Friends.
