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 acess control

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