Laravel Messenger

This package will allow you to add a full user messaging system into your Laravel application.

Multiple conversations per user
Optionally loop in additional users with each new message
View the last message for each thread available
Returns either all messages in the system, all messages associated to the user, or all message associated to the user with new/unread messages
Return the users unread message count easily
Very flexible usage so you can implement your own acess control

In composer.json:

"require": {
    "erickz/messenger": "dev-master"
}

Run:

composer update

Add the service provider to app/config/app.php under providers:

'providers' => [
    'Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider'
]

Add the trait to your user model:

use Cmgmyr\Messenger\Traits\Messagable;

class User extends Eloquent {
	use Messagable;
}

Create a users table if you do not have one already. If you need one, simply use this example as a starting point, then migrate.

Migrate your database:

php artisan migrate --package=cmgmyr/messenger

Move and alter the config file (optional):

php artisan config:publish cmgmyr/messenger
