Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.1+ - Laravel 8+ - ZeroMQ - ext-zmq for PHP Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` $ composer require gruz/laravel-ratchet ``` The service provider is loaded automatically in Laravel 5.5 using Package Autodiscovery. Publish the vendor files so you can configure your server defaults. ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Askedio\LaravelRatchet\Providers\LaravelRatchetServiceProvider" ``` Starting the Server ------------------- [](#starting-the-server) After completing installation, the quickest way to start a standard WebSocket server is simply by running: ``` $ php artisan ratchet:serve --driver=WsServer ``` This will run a simple example server based on `src/Examples/Pusher.php`. It's possible to create a WampServer or an IoServer also. Use the `--help` switch on the command to find out more. You should create your own server class inside your `app` folder by extending one of the core Ratchet server classes: [RatchetWsServer.php](https://github.com/Askedio/laravel-ratchet/blob/master/src/RatchetWsServer.php) or [RatchetWampServer.php](https://github.com/Askedio/laravel-ratchet/blob/master/src/RatchetWampServer.php). Then update your `config/ratchet.php` file to point to your server `class`. Use with Laravel Broadcasting ----------------------------- [](#use-with-laravel-broadcasting) To use broadcasting in your Laravel app with the server you create, you will need a ZeroMQ broadcast driver for Laravel (e.g. [this one](https://github.com/pelim/laravel-zmq)). You will also need to tell your Ratchet server to bind to a ZeroMQ socket. You can do this simply by passing the `-z` option, i.e.: ``` $ php artisan ratchet:serve --driver=WsServer -z ``` This will connect to the socket you define in your `config/ratchet.php` settings and listen for messages from ZeroMQ. To handle messages published via ZeroMQ, simply add a `public function onEntry($messages)` method to your server class. This will allow you to receive messages inside your Ratchet server instance and determine how to route them. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 56.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
