Larapush - WebSocket and Push server
------------------------------------

[](#larapush---websocket-and-push-server)

##### a [Ratchet](http://socketo.me) and [ZMQ](http://zeromq.org) implementation for Laravel 4.

[](#a-ratchet-and-zmq-implementation-for-laravel-4)

#### ZMQ is required

[](#zmq-is-required)

---

Make sure to have **ZMQ installed** on your system before to try it. [Install guide](http://zeromq.org/bindings:php)

#### How to install this package

[](#how-to-install-this-package)

---

```
// composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "redbaron76/larapush": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

```
// app/config/app.php

'providers' => array(

		...

		'Redbaron76\Larapush\LarapushServiceProvider',
	),
```

Then run `composer update` to install the new package.

#### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

---

##### 1) Start the Larapush server

[](#1-start-the-larapush-server)

From the console just type `php artisan larapush:serve` (--port=8080) to rise the WebSocket/Ratchet server up.

##### 2) Use the Larapush facade in your routes to trigger events server-side

[](#2-use-the-larapush-facade-in-your-routes-to-trigger-events-server-side)

```
// app/routes.php

Route::any('profile/{nickname}', ['as' => 'profile', function($nickname)
{
	Larapush::send(['message' => 'I watch you, '.$nickname.'!'], ['profileChannel'], 'profile.visit');

	return View::make('some.view');
}]);
```

##### 3) Subscribe your client to **channels** and listen for **events** in the client-side

[](#3-subscribe-your-client-to-channels-and-listen-for-events-in-the-client-side)

##### 4) Laravel - Ratchet session sync

[](#4-laravel---ratchet-session-sync)

In order to have Laravel session synced with the Ratchet server one, **YOU MUST** use specific Larapush filters in your routes:

1. Use `'before' => 'sessionRemove'` wherever you perform a **logout** action.
2. Use `'after' => 'sessionSync'` wherever you perform a **login** action and in **any authenticated route**.

This will maintain your sessions in sync and you'll be able to perform a target `Larapush::send()`.

[![Use of Larapush filters](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1061849/4200270/f52d8e68-380e-11e4-9c8d-c5d6af246bb0.png)](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1061849/4200270/f52d8e68-380e-11e4-9c8d-c5d6af246bb0.png)
