'aliases' => [ 'LaravelChat' => Dominservice\LaravelChat\Facade\LaravelChat::class, ] ``` Publish config: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dominservice\LaravelChat\LaravelChatServiceProvider" ``` Migrate ``` php artisan migrate ``` Usage ===== [](#usage) #### Get User Conversations: [](#get-user-conversations) ``` $convs = LaravelChat::getConversations($user_id); ``` This will return you a "Illuminate\\Support\\Collection" of "Dominservice\\LaravelChat\\Entities\\Conversation" objects. And foreach Conversation there, you will have the last message of the conversation, and the users of the conversation. Example: ``` foreach ( $convs as $conv ) { $getNumOfUsers = $conv->getNumOfUsers(); $users = $conv->users; /* Collection */ /* $lastMessage Dominservice\LaravelChat\Entities\Message */ $lastMessage = $conv->getLastMessage(); $senderId = $lastMessage->sender; $content = $lastMessage->content; $status = $lastMessage->status; } ``` #### Get User specific conversation: [](#get-user-specific-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::getConversationMessages($conv_id, $user_id); ``` This will return you a "Dominservice\\LaravelChat\\Entities\\Conversation" object. On the object you could get all messages, all users, conv\_id, and more, simply browse the object itself. Example: ``` foreach ( $conv->messages as $msg ) { $senderId = $msg->sender; $content = $msg->content; $status = $msg->status; /* Collection statuses for all users */ $statusUser = $msg->statusForUser($userId = null); } ``` #### Get the conversation id of a conversation between two users: [](#get-the-conversation-id-of-a-conversation-between-two-users) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::getConversationByTwoUsers($userA_id, $userB_id); ``` Simply gives you an id of the conversation between two users, this was created for redirecting to the conversation page when user tries to send a message to another user, so if there is no id returned that means that those users has no conversation yet, so we could create one. #### Add a new message to conversation: [](#add-a-new-message-to-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::addMessageToConversation($conv_id, $user_id, $content); ``` Simply add a message to an exiting conversation, content is the message text. #### Create a new conversation: [](#create-a-new-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::createConversation($users_ids=array(), $relationType = null, $relationId = null); ``` Creates a new conversation with the users id's you passed in the array. #### Get all users in conversation: [](#get-all-users-in-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::getUsersInConversation($conv_id); ``` returns an array of user id in the conversation. #### Delete conversation: [](#delete-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::deleteConversation($conv_id, $user_id); ``` "Deletes" the conversation from a specifc user view. #### Check if user is in conversation: [](#check-if-user-is-in-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::isUserInConversation($conv_id, $user_id); ``` True or False if user is in conversation. #### Get number of unread messages for specific user: [](#get-number-of-unread-messages-for-specific-user) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::getNumOfUnreadMsgs($user_id); ``` return an integer of number of unread messages for specific user. #### Mark all messages as "read" for specifc user in conversation: [](#mark-all-messages-as-read-for-specifc-user-in-conversation) ``` $conv = LaravelChat::markReadAllMessagesInConversation($conv_id, $user_id); ``` ### Example [](#example) ``` public function conversations($convId=null) { $currentUser = Auth::user(); //get the conversations $convs = LaravelChat::getConversations( $currentUser->id ); //array for storing our users data, as that LaravelChat only provides user id's $users = []; //gathering users foreach ( $convs as $conv ) { $users = array_merge($users, $conv->getAllUsers()); } //making sure each user appears once $users = array_unique($users); //getting all data of users if ( !empty($users) ) { $users = User::whereIn('id', $users)->with('profileImage')->getDictionary(); } return View::make('conversations_page') ->with('users', $users) ->with('user', $currentUser) ->with('convs', $convs); } ``` Helpers ------- [](#helpers) Get all conversations for user.
