Extending

You can override core classes of package with your own implementations:

• Cog\Laravel\Love\Like\Models\Like
• Cog\Laravel\Love\LikeCounter\Models\LikeCounter
• Cog\Laravel\Love\Likeable\Services\LikeableService

Note: Don't forget that all custom models must implement original models interfaces.

To make it you should use container binding interfaces to implementations in your application service providers.

Use model class own implementation

$this->app->bind(
    \Cog\Contracts\Love\Like\Models\Like::class,
    \App\Models\CustomLike::class
);

Use service class own implementation

$this->app->singleton(
    \Cog\Contracts\Love\Likeable\Services\LikeableService::class,
    \App\Services\CustomService::class
);

After that your CustomLike and CustomService classes will be instantiable with helper method app().

$model = app(\Cog\Contracts\Love\Like\Models\Like::class);
$service = app(\Cog\Contracts\Love\Likeable\Services\LikeableService::class);
