Example: ``` echo Chatway\Chatway::make('your-widget-id', 'your-secret-key', 'id') ->withVisitor('123', 'user@example.com') ->getScript(); ``` This will generate a secure `window.chatwaySettings` block containing a signature and load the chat widget. --- Adding Tags ----------- [](#adding-tags) You can assign tags to visitors, each with a name and color. **Single Tag:** ``` ->setTags('VIP', '#FFD700') ``` **Multiple Tags:** ``` ->setTags([ 'VIP' => '#FFD700', 'Supporter' => '#00FF00' ]); ``` --- Custom Fields ------------- [](#custom-fields) You can attach custom fields to enrich visitor session data. **Single Field:** ``` ->setCustomFields('Plan', 'Premium') ``` **Multiple Fields:** ``` ->setCustomFields([ 'Subscription' => 'Gold', 'Status' => 'Active' ]); ``` --- Full Example ------------ [](#full-example) ``` echo Chatway\Chatway::make('your-widget-id', 'your-secret-key', 'email') ->withVisitor('123', 'user@example.com') ->setTags('VIP', '#FFD700') ->setTags(['Supporter' => '#00FF00']) ->setCustomFields('Plan', 'Pro') ->setCustomFields([ 'Country' => 'USA', 'Language' => 'English' ]) ->getScript(); ``` --- Important Notes --------------- [](#important-notes) - For visitor verification, you **must** provide: - `make(widgetId, secretKey, basedOn)` - `withVisitor(userId, email)` - The `basedOn` parameter must be either `'id'` or `'email'` - All tag names, tag colors, field names, and field values must be strings - Tags must be an associative array in the format `name => color` - Custom fields must be an associative array in the format `name => value` Invalid input will result in an `InvalidArgumentException`. --- License For This Package ------------------------ [](#license-for-this-package) MIT License © [Chatway](https://chatway.app) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance50 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
