[Ready-made bots](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger-bots) - Customize and create your own chat-bot handlers and bot packages. See the [Chat Bots](docs/ChatBots.md) documentation. - Add participants in a group thread from your friends list. - Permissions per participant within a group thread. - Friends, Search, and Online status systems. - Private thread approval when the two participants are not friends. - Provider avatars, group thread avatars, and bot avatars. - Underlying calling system you can extend. See the [Calling](docs/Calling.md) documentation. - Group thread invitation links (like discord). - All endpoints are protected behind policies. - Scheduled commands for automated cleanup and checks. - Queued jobs fired from our event subscribers. - Most features can be toggled at runtime using our `Messenger` facade. - `MessengerComposer` facade allows you to have easy access to the core actions anywhere within your own app, such as sending messages, images, reactions, and more. - You can implement or extend your own `BroadcastDriver`, `VideoDriver`, and `FriendDriver`, simply by binding your classes into the container. - Support for morph maps on your provider models. See: [Morph Maps](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-relationships#custom-polymorphic-types) - Optional extra payload when sending messages to allow custom json to be stored with the message. - Owner relationships returns a `Ghost Profile` when not found (null-object pattern). - Private threads auto-lock when the recipient is not found / deleted. ### Upcoming for v2 [](#upcoming-for-v2) - Please see the [2.x Branch](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger/tree/2.x) for more information. ### Notes [](#notes) - This is a `Laravel` package and must be installed in a `laravel` application to run. - Read through the [`messenger.php`](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger/blob/1.x/config/messenger.php) config file before migrating! - This is a pure backend driven package providing an API to interact with, thus no web UI or websocket implementation will be setup for you. - Calling is disabled by default. You are responsible for implementing your own media server or connecting to a 3rd party provider. - Configure your laravel applications broadcast driver and set up your websocket implementation to utilize the real-time broadcast emitted. --- Installation ============ [](#installation) ### Composer [](#composer) ``` composer require rtippin/messenger ``` ### To complete the setup, please refer to the installation documentation listed below: [](#to-complete-the-setup-please-refer-to-the-installation-documentation-listed-below) --- Documentation ============= [](#documentation) - ### [Install / Registering Providers](docs/Installation.md) [](#install--registering-providers) - ### [Configuration](docs/Configuration.md) [](#configuration) - ### [Commands](docs/Commands.md) [](#commands) - ### [Broadcasting](docs/Broadcasting.md) [](#broadcasting) - ### [Events](docs/Events.md) [](#events) - ### [Chat Bots](docs/ChatBots.md) [](#chat-bots) - ### [Calling](docs/Calling.md) [](#calling) - ### [Messenger Composer](docs/Composer.md) [](#messenger-composer) - ### [Helpers / Facades](docs/Helpers.md) [](#helpers--facades) - ### [API Explorer](https://tippindev.com/api-explorer) [](#api-explorer) --- Addons / Demo ------------- [](#addons--demo) - [Messenger Bots](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger-bots) - Pre-made bots you can register within this package. - [Messenger Faker](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger-faker) - Adds commands useful in development environments to mock/seed realtime events and messages. - [Messenger Web UI](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger-ui) - Ready-made web routes and publishable views / assets, including default images. - [Demo App](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger-demo) - A demo laravel app with this core package installed, including a [Live Demo](https://tippindev.com). --- Credits - [Richard Tippin](https://github.com/rtippin) ------------------------------------------------------ [](#credits---richard-tippin) ### [LICENSE](https://packagist.org/packages/rtippin/messenger) [](#license) ### [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/RTippin/messenger/blob/1.x/CHANGELOG.md) [](#changelog) Security -------- [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email author instead of using the issue tracker. ### Health Score 57 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance44 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity87 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 99.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
