Description

Chat based in jQuery for Laravel 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. It was made with storage into a MySQL database and integration with the users' table from your project.

Instalation

Laravel 4.x

See how to [clicking here] (https://github.com/kikonuy/easychat).

Laravel 5.x

To install Easychat, follow the steps bellow:

1)

composer require ronanflavio/easychatl5

2)

If you're using Laravel 5.1 or 5.2, insert this line at the bottom of your providers list, into the config/app.php file.

'providers' => [
  ...
  Ronanflavio\Easychat\EasychatServiceProvider::class,
];

In case of 5.0 version, do like this:

'providers' => [
  ...
  'Ronanflavio\Easychat\EasychatServiceProvider',
];

3)

You need to publish the package files. So, do the following:

php artisan vendor:publish

The configurations files will be placed at: config/packages/Ronanflavio/Easychat. The migrations files will be placed at your root project folder, in the directory: migrations/Ronanflavio/Easychat. And the assets, will be placed at: public/packages/Ronanflavio/Easychat.

4)

To migrate the tables, do the following:

php artisan migrate --path=migrations/Ronanflavio/Easychat

Those tables are necessary for your chat. All of them are prefixed with ec_ to distinguish it from your owner tables.

5)

Finally, insert into your app\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php file, the exception for easychat URIs, like this:

	protected $except = [
		 'easychat/*'
	];

Configuration

When the package publish is done, the files will be placed at the direcoty: config\packages\Ronanflavio\Easychat. Navigate to there and map your Models and database tables into the tables.php file like the example bellow:

'users' => array(

        /**
         * Set the Model name:
         */

        'model' => 'App\User',

        /**
         * Set the Table name:
         */

        'table' => 'usuarios',

        /**
         * Set the Fields names:
         */

        'id'         => 'id',
        'name'       => 'nome',
        'photo'      => null,
        'created_at' => 'created_at',
        'updated_at' => 'updated_at',
    ),

Details

The application is totally dependent of authenticate method from Laravel (Auth) and, of course, it's necessary that the user has been logged in into the system for it work.
