Leave some feedback
-------------------

[](#leave-some-feedback)

[How are you using laravel-messenger?](https://github.com/cmgmyr/laravel-messenger/issues/55)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Multiple conversations per user
- Optionally loop in additional users with each new message
- View the last message for each thread available
- Returns either all messages in the system, all messages associated to the user, or all message associated to the user with new/unread messages
- Return the users unread message count easily
- Very flexible usage so you can implement your own access control

Common uses
-----------

[](#common-uses)

- Open threads (everyone can see everything)
- Group messaging (only participants can see their threads)
- One to one messaging (private or direct thread)

Laravel Versions
----------------

[](#laravel-versions)

LaravelMessenger4.\*1.\*5.0-5.4<= 2.16.25.5+2.\*Installation (Laravel 4.x - no longer actively supported)
---------------------------------------------------------

[](#installation-laravel-4x---no-longer-actively-supported)

Installation instructions for Laravel 4 can be [found here](https://github.com/cmgmyr/laravel-messenger/tree/v1).

Installation (Laravel 5.x)
--------------------------

[](#installation-laravel-5x)

```
composer require cmgmyr/messenger

```

Or place manually in composer.json:

```
"require": {
    "cmgmyr/messenger": "~2.0"
}

```

Run:

```
composer update

```

Add the service provider to `config/app.php` under `providers`:

```
'providers' => [
    Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider::class,
],
```

> **Note**: If you are using Laravel 5.5, this step is unnecessary. Laravel Messenger supports [Package Discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery).

Publish config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider" --tag="config"

```

Update config file to reference your User Model:

```
config/messenger.php

```

Create a `users` table if you do not have one already. If you need one, the default Laravel migration will be satisfactory.

**(Optional)** Define names of database tables in package config file if you don't want to use default ones:

```
'messages_table' => 'messenger_messages',
'participants_table' => 'messenger_participants',
'threads_table' => 'messenger_threads',
```

Publish migrations:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

```

Migrate your database:

```
php artisan migrate

```

Add the trait to your user model:

```
use Cmgmyr\Messenger\Traits\Messagable;

class User extends Authenticatable {
    use Messagable;
}
```
