This Laravel package provides a clean integration with the [Ably PHP](https://github.com/ably/ably-php) SDK. It includes a Facade and an injectable `AblyService` that wrap a singleton Ably instance, with configuration automatically loaded from your environment variables or config files. Additionally, the `AblyFactory` class lets you create new Ably instances with custom parameters when needed. This SDK provides REST-only functionality for Laravel. For full-featured Laravel integration including real-time capabilities, Ably recommend using [Ably's Laravel Broadcaster](https://github.com/ably/laravel-broadcaster). Ably Pub/Sub provides flexible APIs that deliver features such as pub-sub messaging, message history, presence, and push notifications. Utilizing Ably’s realtime messaging platform, applications benefit from its highly performant, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.

If you experience any compatibility issues, open an issue in the repository or contact [Ably support](https://ably.com/support). The PHP client library currently targets the [Ably 1.1 client library specification](https://www.ably.com/docs/client-lib-development-guide/features/). Note See [laravel-broadcaster](https://packagist.org/packages/ably/laravel-broadcaster/), if you're using Laravel and want to support Realtime broadcasting and events. Important PHP SDK versions < 1.1.9 will be [deprecated](https://ably.com/docs/platform/deprecate/protocol-v1) from November 1, 2025. --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require ably/ably-php-laravel ``` Add the service provider in `config/app.php` to the `providers` array. ``` Ably\Laravel\AblyServiceProvider::class ``` Optionally add a reference to the facade in `config/app.php` to the `aliases` array. ``` 'Ably' => Ably\Laravel\Facades\Ably::class ``` --- ### Configuration [](#configuration) After registering the service provider, publish the configuration file using Artisan: ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Update the created file `config/ably.php` with your key or [other options](https://www.ably.com/docs/rest/usage#client-options). You can also set the key using an environment variable named `ABLY_KEY`. Usage ----- [](#usage) The following sections demonstrates two ways to use Ably in Laravel: via a [Facade](#facade) or through [dependency injection](#dependency-injection). Facade ------ [](#facade) Use the Laravel facade to access the Ably client. Facade usage details.The facade always returns a singleton instance created with options defined in the config file. Any methods available on an AblyRest class are available through the facade. Due to PHP limitations, properties must be accessed as methods, for example `Ably::auth()`): ``` use Ably; echo Ably::time(); // 1467884220000 $token = Ably::auth()->requestToken([ 'clientId' => 'client123', ]); // Ably\Models\TokenDetails Ably::channel('testChannel')->publish('testEvent', 'testPayload', 'testClientId'); ``` Dependency injection -------------------- [](#dependency-injection) Use the dependency injection to access the Ably client. Dependency injection usage details.You can use `Ably\Laravel\AblyService` instead of the facade, which acts as a 1:1 wrapper for an AblyRest singleton instance created with default options. `Ably\Laravel\AblyFactory` lets you instantiate new AblyRest instances with (optional) custom options. ``` use Ably\Laravel\AblyService; use Ably\Laravel\AblyFactory; function ablyExamples(AblyService $ably, AblyFactory $ablyFactory) { echo $ably->time(); // 1467884220000 echo $ably->auth->clientId; // null $tokenDetails = $ably->auth->requestToken([ 'clientId' => 'client123', ]); // Ably\Models\TokenDetails $ably->channel('testChannel')->publish('testEvent', 'testPayload', 'testClientId'); $ablyClient = $ablyFactory->make([ 'tokenDetails' => $tokenDetails ]); echo $ablyClient->auth->clientId; // 'client123' } ``` --- Releases -------- [](#releases) The [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) contains details of the latest releases for this SDK. You can also view all Ably releases on [changelog.ably.com](https://changelog.ably.com). --- Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines to contribute to Ably. --- Support, feedback, and troubleshooting -------------------------------------- [](#support-feedback-and-troubleshooting) For help or technical support, visit the [Ably Support page](https://ably.com/support). ### Ably REST API [](#ably-rest-api) This SDK currently supports only the [Ably REST API](https://www.ably.com/docs/rest). If you need to subscribe to realtime events in PHP, consider using the [MQTT adapter](https://www.ably.com/docs/mqtt) to leverage [Ably's Realtime features](https://www.ably.com/docs/realtime). ### Health Score 50 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance41 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community25 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity75 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
