This package will allow you to add a full user messaging system into your Laravel application.

How are you using laravel-messenger?

• Multiple conversations per user
• Optionally loop in additional users with each new message
• View the last message for each thread available
• Returns either all messages in the system, all messages associated to the user, or all message associated to the user with new/unread messages
• Return the users unread message count easily
• Very flexible usage so you can implement your own access control

• Open threads (everyone can see everything)
• Group messaging (only participants can see their threads)
• One to one messaging (private or direct thread)

Installation instructions for Laravel 4 can befound here.

composer require cmgmyr/messenger

Or place manually in composer.json:

"require": {    "cmgmyr/messenger": "~2.0"}

Run:

composer update

Add the service provider toconfig/app.php underproviders:

'providers' => [Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider::class,],

Note: If you are using Laravel 5.5, this step is unnecessary. Laravel Messenger supportsPackage Discovery.

Publish config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Update config file to reference your User Model:

config/messenger.php

Create ausers 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:

'messages_table' =>'messenger_messages','participants_table' =>'messenger_participants','threads_table' =>'messenger_threads',

Publish migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Migrate your database:

php artisan migrate

Add the trait to your user model:

useCmgmyr\Messenger\Traits\Messagable;class Userextends Authenticatable {use Messagable;}
