This is a nice, clean, OOP Laravel 4 wrapper for [Pubnub's terrible php library](https://github.com/pubnub/php-composer). All of the (useful) public methods of the base library have been wrapped and exposed with [proper parameters](https://github.com/pubnub/php-composer/blob/master/lib/Pubnub/Pubnub.php#L83-L86), consistent return values, and actual exceptions instead of [incomprehensible array-errors](https://github.com/pubnub/php-composer/blob/master/lib/Pubnub/Pubnub.php#L122). Two methods have not been wrapped or exposed: `history()` and `detailedHistory()`, because they return a completely metadata-less array of messages that isn't actually that useful. Here are some things still to do. Got some time and a good brain? Submit a pull request! - Write some tests. Not sure how best to do this, we'd need to mock the Pubnub calls somehow. - You can't work with more than one channel at once; this is a restriction of the base library, but maybe one that could be worked around? - I'm not an expert in this sort of blocking architecture. There may be a better way to implement the `subscribe()` method, but I'm not sure what it is at this stage. - Maybe figure out the history and detailedHistory methods. - The `presence()` method doesn't seem to do anything, at least in my brief testing. I think it's just borken? On that note: - Maybe stop wrapping the base library and just rewrite the whole damn thing cause seriously what is it up to. Installing ---------- [](#installing) To install, add the package to your `composer.json`: ``` "require" : { ... "aura/pubnub-laravel" : "dev-master" ... } ``` then run `composer update`. Add the following to your `config/app.php` under `'providers'`: ``` 'Aura\PubnubLaravel\PubnubLaravelServiceProvider', ``` And then add the following to your `config/app.php` under `'aliases'`: ``` 'Pubnub' => 'Aura\PubnubLaravel\Facades\PubnubLaravelFacade' ``` You'll also want to publish the config file: ``` php artisan config:publish aura/pubnub-laravel ``` And then configure at least your `'origin'`, `'publish_key'` and `'subscriber_key'`. Usage ----- [](#usage) To set the channel: ``` Pubnub::setChannel('channel'); ``` You can also set to channel for each method individually, as outlined below. If you try to use a method without having a channel set, a `PubnubChannelException` will be thrown. --- To publish a message: ``` Pubnub::publish($message[, $channel]); ``` Returns `true` on success or throws `PubnubPublishFailedException` on failure. --- **Note** This method is blocking. It will never end until there's an error, you return false from your callback, or php times out (I guess). To subscribe to a message: ``` Pubnub::subscribe(Closure $callback[, $channel]); ``` Returns `true` on success or throws `PubnubSubscribeFailedException` on failure. There is also a `presence()` method with the same signature that is supposed to notify you of arrivals/departures in the channel you're subscribed to, but it doesn't seem to work (see note above). --- To see who's currently subscribed: ``` Pubnub::hereNow([$channel]); ``` Returns an array of UUIDs from Pubnub. ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity44 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
