# CMS Kit: Comments
CMS kit provides a **comment** system to add comments feature to any kind of resource, like blog posts, products, etc.
## Options
The comment system provides a mechanism to group comment definitions by entity types. For example, if you want to use comment system for blog posts and products, you need to define two entity types named `BlogPosts` and `Product`, and add comments under these entity types.
`CmsKitCommentOptions` can be configured in the domain layer, in the `ConfigureServices` method of your [module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Development-Basics). Example:
```csharp
Configure<CmsKitCommentOptions>(options =>
{
options.EntityTypes.Add(new CommentEntityTypeDefinition("Product"));
});
```
> If you're using the blog feature, the ABP framework defines an entity type for the blog feature automatically. You can easily override or remove the predefined entity types in `Configure` method like shown above.
`CmsKitCommentOptions` properties:
- `EntityTypes`: List of defined entity types(`CmsKitCommentOptions`) in the comment system.
`CommentEntityTypeDefinition` properties:
- `EntityType`: Name of the entity type.
## The Comments Widget
The comment system provides a commenting [widget](../../UI/AspNetCore/Widgets.md) to allow users to send comments to resources on public websites. You can simply place the widget on a page like below.
```csharp
@await Component.InvokeAsync(typeof(CommentingViewComponent), new
{
entityType = "Product",
entityId = "..."
})
```
`entityType` was explained in the previous section. `entityId` should be the unique id of the product, in this example. If you have a Product entity, you can use its Id here.
## User Interface
### Menu Items

## Internals
### Domain Layer
#### Aggregates
This module follows the [Entity Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Entities) guide.
##### Comment
A comment represents a written comment from a user.
- `Comment` (aggregate root): Represents a written comment in the system.
#### Repositories
This module follows the [Repository Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Repositories) guide.
Following custom repositories are defined for this feature:
- `ICommentRepository`
#### Domain services
This module follows the [Domain Services Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Domain-Services) guide.
##### Comment Manager
`CommentManager` is used to perform some operations for the `Comment` aggregate root.
### Application layer
#### Application services
- `CommentAdminAppService` (implements `ICommentAdminAppService`): Implements the use cases of comment management system, like listing or removing comments etc.
- `CommentPublicAppService` (implements `ICommentPublicAppService`): Implements the use cases of comment management on the public websites, like listing comments, adding comments etc.
### Database providers
#### Common
##### Table / collection prefix & schema
All tables/collections use the `Cms` prefix by default. Set static properties on the `CmsKitDbProperties` class if you need to change the table prefix or set a schema name (if supported by your database provider).
##### Connection string
This module uses `CmsKit` for the connection string name. If you don't define a connection string with this name, it fallbacks to the `Default` connection string.
See the [connection strings](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Connection-Strings) documentation for details.
