Rating Package using jQuery Raty plugin for item ratings + optional microdata format.

The package is doing everything for you - from displaying rating to receiving rating and stores it into database.

This package is a re-edited, reorganized and maintained version of escapeboy/jraty, which is no longer maintained.

Require this package with composer:

composer require wikigods/jraty

The service provider will be auto-discovered. You do not need to add the provider anywhere.

Configuration To use your own settings, publish config.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Wikigods\Jraty\JratyServiceProvider"

Config file config/jraty.php should like this

return [
    'route' => 'save/item_rating'
];

First you need to load jQuery

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

then need to load Raty plugin. You can use it like this:

echo Jraty::js()

or

<script src="vendor/wikigods/jraty/js/jquery.raty.min.js"></script>

After we need to initialize Raty plugin.

Using library:

echo Jraty::js_init($params=[]);

Jraty::js_init accepts array with options for Raty. More info can be found on Raty website

For example this and it is default:

Jraty::js_init([
    'score' => 'function() { return $(this).attr(\'data-score\'); }',
    'number' => 5,
    'click' => 'function(score, evt) {
                $.post(\'save/item_rating\',{
                    item_id: $(\'[data-item]\').attr(\'data-item\'),
                    score: score
                });
              }',
    'path' => '\'vendor/wikigods/jraty/img\''
]);

returns

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#item-rating').raty({
        'score': function () {
            return $(this).attr('data-score');
        },
        'number': 5,
        'click': function (score, evt) {
            $.post('save/item_rating', {
                item_id: $('[data-item]').attr('data-item'),
                score: score
            });
        },
        'path': 'vendor/wikigods/jraty/img'
    });
});

Important: If you noticed in php call single quotes are escaped.

echo Jraty::html($item_id, $item_name='', $item_photo='', $seo=true);

If you are using seo option (true by default) its good to set a item_name

And result will be

Library is accepting only one rating per item from single IP.

Deleting record

Jraty::delete($id)

Adding manual rating

$data = [
        'item_id'    => Request::get('item_id'),
        'score'      => Request::get('score'),
        'added_on'   => DB::raw('NOW()'),
        'ip_address' => Request::getClientIp()
		];
Jraty::add($data);

Getting rating data for item

$rating = Jraty::get($item_id);
echo $rating->avg; // avarage score
echo $rating->votes; // total votes
