How to implement voting in laravel?

Question

Laravel

Good night everybody! There was a need to create a vote FOR and AGAINST on the posts, the user can vote only once, I think I can check whether he voted earlier through cookies, but I would like to know if there are ready-made solutions for such voting on LARAVEL, if not, how best to implement the structure, Maybe someone has already experienced this.

Answer 1

I would do this:
You cut a table with answers (one line one answer):
-id
-number of the post (for which they vote)
-answer for or against. I would do a boolean.
Saw in a one-to-many relationship model.
The rest I think is clear.

Answer 2

Voting, likes, comments are best done through polymorphic links , so as not to produce the same tables and code. Because today they vote for a post, tomorrow for a photo, they want to transfer it to polymorphic ones, because it is 100 times easier with them, but it will already be cumbersome to fix. I would immediately make polymorphic ones, remove them together with related checks and action methods into a trait, which can already be connected to posts, photo-videos and any other models.
