After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Note: Laravel Messenger supports Package Discovery. If using Laravel 5.5 and above, skip this part.

Add the service provider to config/app.php under providers:

Publish config:

Update config file to reference your User Model:

Create a users table if you do not have one already. If you need one, the default Laravel migration will be satisfactory.

(Optional) Define names of database tables in package config file if you don't want to use default ones:

Publish migrations:

Migrate your database:

Add the trait to your user model:

Pusher Integration

This package utilizes pusher/pusher-php-server that provides pusher services out-of-the-box. All you have to do is require the package, register the service providers, publish the vendor package, and that's it! You're good to go.

Please check out the examples section for a detailed example usage.

Breaking Changes:

Deprecated Packages

Since Pusher Http Laravel has been deprecated, the current demo uses the latest Laravel 5/6 trends of Broadcasting via events. Checkout THE DEMO to see it in action. It becomes more manageable and expressive to configure channels individually.

If you plan to migrate to Laravel 6, the Pusher Http Laravel deprecated package will prohibit you due to dependency issues. You will simply need to create an event to fire the broadcast message, and a channel for broadcasting. You can check the demo for practical usage.

Migration to v1.2

As pointed out in this issue, the starred property has been moved from threads table to the participants table as it makes much more sense there. (Credits to snarcraft).

run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lexx\ChatMessenger\ChatMessengerServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" to copy migration file, then run php artisan migrate.

Starring a thread is as easy as calling the star() method on the thread. If no userId is passed, it defaults to the currently logged-in user. Same case applied to unstarring a thread. $thread->unstar().

So, Where's the Demo?

To get a clear picture of how it works, open two to four browsers (private/incognito mode is perfect for this case) and login with different accounts.

Latest Demo

We have a New Demo Version that features the common Laravel Jetstream + Inertia stack.
