article_user_point
article_user_reply
article_user_attention

Each table only has user_id and article_id

The many-to-many relationship introduced in the laravel model is not suitable for this situation! ! !

Answer 1

The many-to-many relationship introduced in the laravel model is not suitable for this situation! ! !

Because this is not many-to-many.

It is still recommended to create four tables such as comments and favorites

Answer 2

Use a table to record the relationship between them
article_user

id (self-increment)
articleId
userId
type 1. Collection 2. Like 3. Reply 4. Follow

Answer 3

Like table: likes 字段有user_id存点赞的用户的id，article_id存文章的id；
评论表：comments 字段有 article_id，user_id, the same is true for collection table.
