The SocketBus PHP Library

#### Getting Started

2. **Minimum requirements** -
3. **Install the library** - ```
    composer require socketbus/socketbus-php
    ```
4. **Using the library** -

Create a SocketBus instance
---------------------------

[](#create-a-socketbus-instance)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use SocketBus\SocketBus;

$config = [
    'app_id' => 's-1-J2PCu8g8sAejZeXx',
    'secret' => 'cdKBpcruwYQ96kvIaYiorbTFxRDCbVfj'
];

$socketBus = new SocketBus($config);
```

###### End-to-End Encryption

[](#end-to-end-encryption)

To ensure that your data is secure, you can enable End-to-end encryption under Application > Settings. This setting in combination with the option `custom_encryption_key` encrypts the payload and decrypts in the client when an authenticated user receives a encrypted payload.

```
$config = [
    'app_id' => 's-1-J2PCu8g8sAejZeXx',
    'secret' => 'cdKBpcruwYQ96kvIaYiorbTFxRDCbVfj',
    'custom_encryption_key' => 'my-unique-key'
];
```

    // The channel is presence
}
if ($socketBus->isChannelPublic($channelName)) {
    // The channel is public

$socketId = $request->socket_id;
$channelName = $request->channel_name;

if (/** verifies if user can access the request channel */) {

    return [
        'auth' => $socketbus->auth($socketId, $channelName)
    ];
}
```

$socketId = $request->socket_id;
$channelName = $request->channel_name;
$userId = /** gets the current user id */;
