Yes this is possible in laravel

As for the other questions, it would take quite some time to answer each and answering them for you would take away from your learning. Could you say what you would do for each of those questions and then we could point you in the correct direction.

For question 2, take a look at laravel passport: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/passport

Happy learning

@MUSHOOD - User Profile Settings .

User 1 -> Can See other User Profile . User have Settings for Profile . Email , Friends and Address . Email Can be Public Private Friends Friends Can be Public Private Friends Address Can be Public Private Friends Post Can be Public Private Friends

For Saving user settings users table -> friends_privacy , email_privacy , post_privacy Columns .

User 1 goes to User 2 Profile .

in controller im checking for $req->user_id!==$req->user()->id than i set $_REQUEST['check_privacy']

Than in User Model i created

 public function getAddressAttribute($value){
    if(!$this->checkPrivacyFor('location_privacy')){
        return "";
    }
    return $value;
}

  private function checkPrivacyFor($key){
    if(isset($_REQUEST['privacy_check']) && $_REQUEST['privacy_check']==true){
        if($this->$key=="Only Me"){
            return false;
        }elseif($this->$key=="Friends" && !$this->areFriends($_REQUEST['requested_user'])){
            return false;
        }elseif($this->$key=="Collaborators" && !$this->areATeam($_REQUEST['requested_user'])){
            if(!$this->areProjectOfficials($_REQUEST['requested_user']))
                return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
} 

this above code is in user model .

is it right approach .....

@talhaatsix I would suggest that you take a look at policies and gates: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/authorization

Its a very useful concept to learn and can you in this specific case.

@MUSHOOD - Hi ,

thanks for your help .

and for post (news feed) with user settings and also a single post (with public , private ,friends ) what i do?

public function getFeed(Request $req){

    //All Feed
   
       $friends = Friendship::where(['user_id' => $request->user()->id, 'is_confirmed' => 1])->pluck('friend_id')->toArray();
      $feeds = $feeds->where(function($feeds)use ($friends, $request, &$adminNewestFeedIds) {
                    $feeds = $feeds->where(function($feeds) use ($friends, $request) {
                        $feeds = $feeds->whereRaw("((((user_id IN ('" . implode("','", $friends) . "') ) )AND privacy <> 
                                                     'private') OR user_id = '" . $request->user()->id . "' )");
      });

the above is not a good approach

plz suggest something for fetching feed ..
