[Need Suggestion] Could I add is_approved in followables table? about laravel-follow

[overtrue]

@a-ssassi-n You can use pivot feature of laravel: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-relationships#updating-many-to-many-relationships

// follow
$user->follow($other, ['is_approved' => false]); // maybe default as false

//approve
$user->followers()->updateExistingPivot($other->id, ['is_approved' => true]);

// access pivot attributes
foreach ($user->followers as $follower) {
       $follower->pivot->is_approved; 
}

I will refactor this project.

Hi I feel like i need to update this issue for a specific issue I'm having.

I need to grab the is_approved parameter for example. Updating is fine but on my backend I'm unable to query this relationship I feel like the following is the reason:
https://github.com/overtrue/laravel-follow/blob/master/src/Traits/CanFollow.php#L108

For example doing the following will return null:

//Find if user 1 is following user 2 and if they are approved
>>> User::find(1)->followings(User::class)->wherePivot('followable_id',2)->first()->pivot->is_approved
>>> null

Is there a way we can override or add in additional withPivot attributes?

So adding that column right now is not convenient until you fix the bug? @overtrue
