[](#laravchat)

Laravchat is a real-time chat package that will enable logged in users in an application to start conersations with other users and chat in real-time for Laravel 5.4+. This package works with Laravel, Vuejs, Pusher and Laravel Echo.

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

To install the package just run

This package uses `Carbon` package so make sure to run, if you don't have it already:

```
composer require nesbot/carbon

```

In `config/broadcasting.php` add the following to the `options` in `pusher`

```
'cluster' => 'us2',  //OR YOUR OWN CLUSTER
'encrypted' => false,

```

Run

```
php artisan make:auth

```

Run

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

And select `Frutdev\Laravchat\LaravchatServiceProvider`

```
.js('resources/assets/laravchatjs/laravchat.js', 'public/js')

```

Add on top of your `resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php`

```

```

And on the bottom add

```

	@yield('chat')

    window.Laravel =
