## What it is
Laravel Love is a PHP package that adds social reaction functionality (likes, dislikes, and custom emotion types) to Laravel Eloquent models. It provides a fully customizable weighted reaction system and reaction type system suitable for enterprise applications.

## Use cases
- add like and dislike buttons to blog posts in Laravel
- implement Facebook-style reactions on user content
- add upvote/downvote system like Reddit to Eloquent models
- let users favorite or star articles in a Laravel app
- build weighted reaction types with custom emotions for a social network
- track user reactions and reaction counts on any model

## When to choose
- you need likes, dislikes, or custom reactions on Laravel Eloquent models
- you want an enterprise-ready, customizable weighted reaction system
- you need reaction type systems beyond simple like/dislike
- you want a maintained, well-documented Laravel package for social engagement features

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Laravel or Eloquent ORM
