Installation

Talk is a Laravel package so you can install it via composer. Run this command in your terminal from your project directory.

Wait for a while, Composer will automatically install Talk in your project.

Configuration

When the download is complete, you have to call this package service in config/app.php config file. To do that, add this line in app.php in providers section

To use facade you have to add this line in app.php in aliases array

Now run this command in your terminal to publish this package resources

After running this command, all necessary file will be included in your project. This package has two default migrations. So you have to run migrate command like this. (But make sure your database configuration is configured correctly.)

Okay, now you need to configure your user model for Talk. Go to config/talk.php and config it.

Usage

Its very easy to use. If you want to set authenticate user id globally then you have to set a middleware first. Go to app/Http/Kernel.php and set it in $routeMiddleware array

And now you can use it from anywhere with middleware. Suppose you have a Controller and you want to set authenticate user id globally, then write this in controller constructor

But instead of setting id globally, you can use these procedure from any method in controller.

Now you may use any method that you need. But if you want to pass authentic id instantly, this method may help you.

Please see the API Doc.

Realtime Messaging

Talk also support realtime messaging thats called Talk-Live. Talk use pusher for realtime message. So first you have to configure pusher. Go to app/talk.php again and configure.

in this new version broadcast section was added with talk config. Here broadcast is disabled by default. If you want to enable live(realtime) messaging then you have to enable it first. Then add pusher credentials. Thats it. Everytime when you send message then talk will automatically fire two event, one for specific user and second for specific conversation. So you may listen or subscribe one or both as per your wish. Finally you have to subscribe these events by using talk_live() helper function. Go to where you want to subscribe to work with message data follow this code.

talk_live() supports one parameters as array. The first parameter is for channel name which you want to subscribe. You have not know which channel was broadcast. Talk broadcast two channel by default. One for user and second for conversation. If you want to subscribe channel for currently loggedin user then you have to pass

logedin user id in 'user' key. ['user'=>['id'=>auth()->user()->id, 'callback'=[]] or you want to subscribe for conversation id you have pass conversation id as 'conversation' key. ['conversation'=>['id'=>$conversationID, 'callback'=>[]]. You may pass both if you want.

You can pass a callback for working with pusher recieved data. For both user and conversation section support callbacks as array. So you can pass multiple callback as array value that was shown in previous example.
