VgComments 2.x

Laravel comments stack: a core backend plus optional UI packages.

Live demo: vgcomment.nghiane.com

Packages

Package	Role	Current
vigstudio/vgcomments	REST API, DB, moderation admin, validation	^2.0
vigstudio/blade-comments	Blade + vanilla JS UI (recommended)	^2.0
vigstudio/livewire-comments	Livewire 4 UI	^2.0

Install one UI package (or call the API yourself). Both UIs depend on vgcomments ^2.0.

Line 1.x remains on Packagist for existing apps; new projects should use 2.0.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^10|^11|^12|^13
• Livewire ^4.0 only if you use Livewire Comments

Features

• Comments by page_id and/or Eloquent morph models
• Guest or authenticated authors
• Nested replies, reactions, reports
• File attachments
• Markdown (s9e/TextFormatter)
• reCAPTCHA v3, StopForumSpam, optional NSFW image check
• Admin dashboard + runtime settings (/{prefix}/admin)

Quick start

# Recommended — Blade UI (no Livewire required)
composer require vigstudio/blade-comments:^2.0

# Option B — Livewire 4 UI
composer require vigstudio/livewire-comments:^2.0

Then publish config/assets, migrate, and drop a component into a Blade view. See:

• Installation (core)
• Blade Comments
• Livewire Comments

Architecture

Your app view
    │
    ├─ Blade box + JS      ──► HTTP REST API ──► CommentService / DB
    │
    └─ Livewire component  ──► CommentService / DB
                                                    │
                                              Admin panel

Layout isolation

Load @commentBladeStyles / @commentStyles only on pages that render comments — do not put package CSS in global guest/login layouts.
