Laravel Webmentions

A simple client to retrieve webmentions for your pages.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require astrotomic/laravel-webmentions

Configuration

At firsts you will have to add your webmention.io API access token to the services.php config file.

return [
    // ...
    'webmention' => [
        'token' => env('WEBMENTION_TOKEN'),
    ],
    // ...
];

Usage

You can retrieve all webmentions for a given URL by calling the get() method on the packages client.

use Astrotomic\Webmentions\Facades\Webmentions;

$records = Webmentions::get('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');

If you omit the url as argument it will automatically use \Illuminate\Http\Request::url() as default. The return value will be an instance of \Astrotomic\Webmentions\Collections\WebmentionsCollection which provides you with predefined filter methods. You can also use the shorthand methods on the client to retrieve a collection of likes, mentions, replies or reposts.

use Astrotomic\Webmentions\Facades\Webmentions;

$likes = Webmentions::likes('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');
$mentions = Webmentions::mentions('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');
$replies = Webmentions::replies('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');
$reposts = Webmentions::reposts('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');

All items will be a corresponding instance of \Astrotomic\Webmentions\Models\Like, \Astrotomic\Webmentions\Models\Mention, \Astrotomic\Webmentions\Models\Reply or \Astrotomic\Webmentions\Models\Repost.

If you only need the count of items you can use the Webmentions::count() method.

use Astrotomic\Webmentions\Facades\Webmentions;

$counts = Webmentions::count('https://gummibeer.dev/blog/2020/human-readable-intervals');
[
  'count' => 52,
  'type' => [
    'like' => 23,
    'mention' => 8,
    'reply' => 16,
    'repost' => 5,
  ],
];

Caching

The client uses a poor man cache by default - so per runtime every domain is only requested once. If you want extended caching behavior you should wrap the calls in a Cache::remember() for example.

Blade Component

To receive webmentions for your page you have to add two <link/> tags to your head. This package provides a <x-webmention-links/> Blade component that makes it easier for you.

<x-webmention-links />
<!-- will use the domain of current request -->
<x-webmention-links domain="gummibeer.dev" />
<!-- will use the given domain -->

<!-- RESULT -->
<link rel="webmention" href="https://webmention.io/gummibeer.dev/webmention" />
<link rel="pingback" href="https://webmention.io/gummibeer.dev/xmlrpc" />
