[](#lighthouse-redis-broadcaster-)

[Lighthouse](https://lighthouse-php.com/) already supports pusher, but does not deliver its own redis based solution. This package enables graphql subscriptions using presence channels of the [laravel-echo-server](https://github.com/tlaverdure/laravel-echo-server).

For a client solution, check out the [Apollo Lighthouse Subscription Link](https://github.com/thekonz/apollo-lighthouse-subscription-link).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

*I assume that you already have [Lighthouse](https://lighthouse-php.com/) and [laravel-echo-server](https://github.com/tlaverdure/laravel-echo-server) installed. If not, please check out their installation steps before continuing.*

Install the package with composer:

```
composer require thekonz/lighthouse-redis-broadcaster
```

Add the service provider **after** the Lighthouse subscription service provider in the `config/app.php`:

```
        /*
         * Package Service Providers...
         */
        \Nuwave\Lighthouse\Subscriptions\SubscriptionServiceProvider::class,
        \thekonz\LighthouseRedisBroadcaster\SubscriptionServiceProvider::class,
```

Add this to your `.env`:

```
LIGHTHOUSE_BROADCASTER=redis
REDIS_PREFIX=
```

If you do not set the `REDIS_PREFIX` to empty, it will default to `_database_` (by default: `laravel_database_`) and all redis channels will be prefixed with it.

Setting up automatic removal of subscription channels
-----------------------------------------------------

[](#setting-up-automatic-removal-of-subscription-channels)

Lighthouse by default does not remove vacated channels. In order to prevent redis from running low on memory all the time, you need to configure the laravel-echo-server to publish updates about its presence channels and run a subscriber that removes vacated channels from redis.

Enable presence channel updates in your `laravel-echo-server.json` by setting `publishPresence` to `true`:

```
  "databaseConfig": {
    ...
    "publishPresence": true
  }
```

Run the subscription command to remove vacated channels:

```
php artisan lighthouse:subscribe
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

*If you are using Apollo, you should use the [Apollo Lighthouse Subscription Link](https://github.com/thekonz/apollo-lighthouse-subscription-link).*

Create a subscription as described in the [Lighthouse docs](https://lighthouse-php.com/4.12/subscriptions/defining-fields.html). For the purpose of demonstration, I assume the subscription is `postUpdated` like in the docs.

Now query the api:

```
subscription test {
  postUpdated {
    id
    title
  }
}
```

The response will be:

```
{
  "data": {
    "postUpdated": null
  },
  "extensions": {
    "lighthouse_subscriptions": {
      "version": 1,
      "channels": {
        "test": "private-lighthouse-9RrjQE84nqaxXt58ZsgREPaI9AxGjAv4-1588101712"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Now you may use laravel echo to monitor the subscription as a presence channel:

```
Echo.join(
  "private-lighthouse-9RrjQE84nqaxXt58ZsgREPaI9AxGjAv4-1588101712"
).listen(".lighthouse.subscription", ({ channel, data }) => {
  console.log(channel); // private-lighthouse-9RrjQE84nqaxXt58ZsgREPaI9AxGjAv4-1588101712
  console.log(data); // { postUpdated: { id: 1, title: "New title" } }
});
```
