Exceptions

All package exceptions live in RoundlyConsulting\Likes\Exceptions:

Exception	Thrown when
`InvalidReactionTypeException`	A reaction type is not in likes.reactions — including a default_reaction missing from the list.
`NoAuthenticatedActorException`	The facade, a PendingLike chain or @liked needs an actor, none was passed and actor_resolver resolves nothing.
`LikesException`	Never directly — the abstract base of both, extending RuntimeException. Catch it to handle any package error.

Catch the base class to turn any package error into a response:

use RoundlyConsulting\Likes\Exceptions\LikesException;
use RoundlyConsulting\Likes\Facades\Likes;

try {
    Likes::as($request->string('reaction')->toString())->react($post);
} catch (LikesException $e) {
    abort(422, $e->getMessage());
}

The InteractsWithLikes testing helpers throw a plain RuntimeException when no liker is set — see Testing.
