add types of ratings (categories)

[willvincent]

I don't think any changes are necessary to this package to facilitate this.

I guess that you mean one could

• create a RatingCategory model and associate it with the Rating model
• Add a category field to the ratings table:

Schema::table('ratings', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('category')->nullable(); // or use an enum if categories are predefined
});

and then

• Filter ratings by category:

$product = Product::find(1);
$qualityRatings = $product->ratings()->where('category', 'quality')->get();
$priceRatings = $product->ratings()->where('category', 'price')->get();

also maybe use a separate model for categories (if needed):

// RatingCategory model
class RatingCategory extends Model {
    public function ratings() {
        return $this->hasMany(Rating::class);
    }
}

// Rating model
class Rating extends Model {
    public function category() {
        return $this->belongsTo(RatingCategory::class);
    }
}
