Introduction

Ping provides a simple and easy Messaging or Chat or Conversation system to your Laravel Framework. It is easy to integrate and use.

Features

  • One to One Conversation.
  • Send a message without checking for conversation.
  • Check if user has access to a conversation.
  • Conversation's unread messages count (total & by user).
  • Retriving messages with auto marking as seen.
  • Marking all unread messages as seen (total & by user).
  • Deleting messages from the participant side.
  • Hard deletion (delete permanently) of messages and conversation.
  • Message Encryption (Coming soon!).
  • Group Conversation (Coming soon!).

Installation

To get started with Ping, use Composer to add the package to your project:

composer require harshaaliaschinna/ping

Configuration

After installing the Ping package, register the Harshaaliaschinna\Ping\PingServiceProvider in your config/app.php configuration file:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    Harshaaliaschinna\Ping\PingServiceProvider::class,
],

You don't need to add the Ping to alias array. We already done that for you 💙.

Migration

Run below command in your terminal to publish required migration files for this package.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Harshaaliaschinna\Ping\PingServiceProvider"

Finally run below command to execute migrations.

php artisan migrate

Basic Usage

Example 1:

// Ping::setId(from_id)->send(to_id, message);
Ping::setId(1)->send(2, "Hello, How are you?");

Example 2:

Ping::setId(1);
Ping::send(2, "Hello, How are you?");

Example 3:

namespace App\Controllers;

..
use Ping;

class Demo extends Controller {
    public function __construct() {
        // Ping once initialized it can be used anywhere without setting From Id.
        Ping::setId(Auth::Id());
    }
    
    public function sendMessage($toId, $message) {
        ..
        ..
        Ping::send($toId, $message);
        ..
    }
    
    public function retriveMessage($Id) {
        ..
        $markAsSeen = true; // Bool
        $message = Ping::recieve($Id, $markAsSeen);
        ..
    }
    ..
    ..
    ..
}

API Reference

*Note: Please note that connection and conversation both are same. As the package name itself refers to a Networking scenario, these words were used just for fun! 😛 .

object setId( int $id )

Parameters:
Id: Unique Id from which further requests can be performed.

Return Values:
Returns Ping object. FALSE on errors.

send

object new( int $user_one[, int $user_two = null])

Parameters:
user_one: Unique Id.
user_two: If this field is not set, Ping will create a connection between base_user(user set through setId() method) and user_one. Else it will create a connection between user_one and user_two.

Return Values:
Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors.
returned object containes Connection id ->id

exists

bool exists( int $user_two)

Parameters:
user_two: Unique Id. This method is dependent on setId()

Return Values:
Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors.

Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors or not found.

receiveAll

Retrives all messages that are present in a connection or conversation using connection_id

object receiveAll( int $connection_id[[[[, bool $seen = false], string $order = 'ASC'], int $skip=null], int $take=null])
