Configuration

Get Application Key & Private Key

First of all, you should register on realtime.co and get your api keys.

• Login/Register at https://accounts.realtime.co

• Create new Subscription

• You can see your Application Key and Private Key

• If you want to use authentication, you should enable it in your panel.

Update config file

Edit app/config/broadcasting.php:

/*
* set default broadcasting driver to realtime
*/
'default' => env('BROADCAST_DRIVER', 'realtime'),

'credentials' => [

    /*
     * your application key
     */
    'application_key' => 'YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY',
    /*
     * your private key
     */
    'private_key'     => 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY',

],

Done!

Usage

Get Balancer URL (Manually)

This package automatically get balancer url (best available server), but if you want fetch a new balancer url manually:

$balancerUrl = Ortc::getBalancerUrl();

echo 'Balancer Url: ' . $balancerUrl->getUrl();

Authentication

In order to authenticate a user:

$channels = [
    'channel_one' => 'w',
    'channel_two' => 'r'
];

Ortc::authenticate(
    $authToken, //authentication token
    $channels,
    $ttl, //(optional) default: 3600
    $isPrivate //(optional) default: false
);

Send Message via broadcasting service (recommend) (Push)

See laravel/Events - Marking Events For Broadcast

Below a short example:

Create a new Event

Open up app/Events/TestEvent.php and edit

To fire the event:

$value = 'test 123';
event(new TestEvent($user, $value));

The result will be:

{
    "event": "testEvent",
    "payload": {
        "value": "test 123"
    }
}

Send Message manually (Push)

In order to push a message to a channel:

Ortc::send(
    $channel, //channel name
    $authToken, //authentication token
    $message //message (string)
);

If you are using UTF-8 messages, It's better to use base64_encode().
