Chatify Laravel Package
=======================

[](#chatify-laravel-package)

A Laravel package that allows you to add a complete user messaging system into your new/existing Laravel application with only a few easy steps.

Important Notes (Update 2021/03/07)
-----------------------------------

[](#important-notes-update-20210307)

- I'm currently working to release **v1.2.0** which will solve a lot of issues, Laravel 8+ support, and will come with a minor changes in the UI/UX ... like so.
- And also I would like to mention that the documentation will be moved to [Gitbook](https://gitbook.com).
- **Chatify v2** will be delayed because it should be completely re-designed/re-coded (Back-end, UI/UX, features...), so it takes a time to be done! and also because of my job and time by general.
    At the end .. I promise that `(Chatify v2 will be amazing)`, so be patient ❤️

Laravel 8+ support
------------------

[](#laravel-8-support)

Since this package currently (v1.0.1, v1.0.0) may not support Laravel 8+, But you can get it to work with Laravel 8+ after a few quite simple changes, as @lelu0 mentioned at [munafio/chatify#66 (comment)](https://github.com/munafio/chatify/issues/66#issuecomment-756083954)
