It is designed to be used in situations where you need to send data from the server to the client. It is a great alternative to websockets, as it is much simpler to implement and use. How does it work? ----------------- [](#how-does-it-work) Pollsockets uses a simple polling mechanism to send events from the server to the client. Instead of polling an endpoint that returns data, pollsockets polls an endpoint that returns a list of events that have occurred, thus saving bandwidth and response time. The client then processes the events and updates the UI accordingly. Ecosystem --------- [](#ecosystem) ### Server side [](#server-side) - [Laravel](https://github.com/pollsockets/pollsockets-laravel) ### Client side [](#client-side) - [Javascript](https://github.com/pollsockets/pollsockets-js) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.1 or higher - Laravel 9.0 or higher - Redis 6.0 or higher Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require pollsockets/pollsockets-laravel ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="pollsockets-config" ``` This is the contents of the published config file: ``` use Pollsockets\Drivers\RedisChannel; return [ 'driver' => RedisChannel::class, ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use Pollsockets\Pollsockets; // Channel name can be any string. Can be used to separate events from different sources. $channelName = 'channel'; // Event name can be any string. Can be used to separate events of the same type. $event = 'reload'; // Publish an event to the channel from anywhere in your code. Perfect for informing client about changes in the database. Pollsockets::channel($channelName)->publish($event); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
