# Blade directives

Three conditional directives ship with the package:

```blade
@approved($deployment, $user) Approved by you @endapproved
@rejected($deployment, $user) You rejected this @endrejected
@pendingApproval($deployment) Awaiting a decision @endpendingApproval
```

| Directive | True when |
| --- | --- |
| `@approved($approvable, $actor)` | The actor holds an approval of the approvable that is still in force. |
| `@rejected($approvable, $actor)` | The actor holds a rejection for the approvable. |
| `@pendingApproval($approvable)` | The approvable has any pending decision not yet past its deadline. |

They are registered with Blade::if(), so the usual @else branch and the @unless form — @unlessapproved($deployment, $user) … @endapproved — work too:

```blade
@approved($post, auth()->user())
    <span class="badge">You approved this</span>
@else
    <button type="submit">Approve</button>
@endapproved
```

They accept full Eloquent models, not ids, and don’t need the HasApprovals trait. If your app already registers a directive with one of these names, the package leaves yours untouched.

## The same checks in PHP

The facade runs the same checks the directives use — the class behind both is internal, so go through the facade:

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Approvals\Facades\Approvals;

Approvals::for($deployment)->as($user)->isApproved();   // bool — @approved
Approvals::for($deployment)->as($user)->isRejected();   // bool — @rejected
Approvals::for($deployment)->hasPending();              // bool — @pendingApproval
```
