Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

First, install the package through Composer.

```
composer require inani/messager
```

Then include the service provider inside `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Inani\Messager\MessagerServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];
```

Setup a Model

[](#setup-a-model)

To setup a model all you have to do is add (and import) the `MessageAccessible` trait.

```
use Inani\Messager\Helpers\MessageAccessible;
use Inani\Messager\Helpers\TagsCreator;
class User extends Model
{
    use MessageAccessible, TagsCreator;
    ...
}
```

---

Creating & sending Messages
-------------------------------

[](#creating--sending-messages)

### Creating a message

[](#creating-a-message)

```
$receiver = User::find(1);

// Message Data
$messageData = [
	'content' => 'Hello all this is just a test', // the content of the message
	'to_id' => $receiver->getKey(), // Who should receive the message
];

list($message, $user) = App\User::createFromRequest($messageData);
```

### Sending the message

[](#sending-the-message)

```
$sender = User::find(2);

$sent = $sender->writes($message)
                 ->to($user)
                 ->send();

// send to multiple users the same message
// can execpt a user|array of users| array of ids| or array of users and ids
$sent = $sender->writes($message)
                 ->to($user)
		 ->cc([$user1, $user2])
		 ->cc([$user3->id, $user4->id])
                 ->send();
```

### Responding the message

[](#responding-the-message)

```
$sender = User::find(2);

$sent = $user->writes($newMessage)
                 ->to($sender)
		 ->responds($message)
                 ->send();
```

### Drafting a message

[](#drafting-a-message)

```
$sender = User::find(2);

$draft = $sender->writes($message)
                  ->to($user)
                  ->draft()
                  ->keep();
```

Working with Messages
---------------------

[](#working-with-messages)

Once you've got messages you need to do something with them.

### Getting messages between users

[](#getting-messages-between-users)

```
// Users
$userA = App\User::find(1);
$userB = App\User::find(2);

// Get seen messages sent from UserB to UserA
$messages = $userA->received()->from($userB)->seen()->get();

// OR you can pass an array of IDs
$messages = $userA->received()->from([2, 3, 4, 5])->seen()->get();
```

### Read messages

[](#read-messages)

```
// Set the selected message(or id of messages as read)
$count = $userB->received()->select($message)->readThem();
```

### Unread messages

[](#unread-messages)

```
// Get unread messages from UserB to User A
$messages = $userA->received()->from($userB)->unSeen()->get();

// Marking them as read
$messages = $userA->received()->from($userB)->unSeen()->readThem();

// check out if a conversation has new messages
$bool = $userA->received()->conversation($message)->hasNewMessages();

// Get the number of conversations that have new messages in it
$number = $userA->received()->unSeenConversations();
```

### Sent messages

[](#sent-messages)

```
// Get unread messages from UserA to UserB
$messages = $userA->sent()->to($userB)->get();

// OR you can pass an array of IDs
$messages = $userA->received()->to([2, 3, 4, 5)->get();
```

### Draft messages

[](#draft-messages)

```
// Get the draft messages for UserA
$messages = $userA->sent()->inDraft()->get().
```

Tags
----

[](#tags)

You can tag (or structure your messages in different categories).

### Create and Edit tags

[](#create-and-edit-tags)

each user can make any number of tags.

```
// create a new tag, $data can be (Tag instance, array, Request)
$tag = $userA->addNewTag($data);

// Modify the attributes of a tag
$user->tag($tag)->name("social")->color("#ffff")->apply();
```

### Assign tag to message

[](#assign-tag-to-message)

Once you have the message and the tag

```
// you'll need the instance of user(to check if sender or receiver)
// $user and $tag can be ids or instance of User, Tag classes
$bool = $message->concerns($user)->putTag($tag);
```

### Change and get tag of a message

[](#change-and-get-tag-of-a-message)

```
// to change the tag just use the same method
$bool = $message->concerns($user)->putTag($tag);

// to get the tag of the message, null if not tagged
$tagOrNull = $message->concerns($user)->getTag();
//
```

### Remove a tag from a message

[](#remove-a-tag-from-a-message)

```
// To remove the tag from the message
$bool = $message->concerns($user)->removeTag();
```
