How to create like and dislike system in laravel 11

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create like and dislike system in laravel 11 application.In this example, we won’t use any special packages to make a like-dislike system. We’ll make our own like-dislike system for posts. We’ll use Laravel UI to set up user accounts. Then, we’ll create a posts table with some example posts. Next, we’ll make a page that shows a list of posts with titles and descriptions. On this list page, we’ll add thumbs-up and thumbs-down icons so users can like or dislike the posts. We’ll use AJAX to handle the likes and dislikes. You Can Learn How to create comment system in laravel 11
