- Marking all unread messages as seen (total & by user).
- Deleting messages from the participant side.
- Hard deletion (delete permanently) of messages and conversation.

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! 😛 .
setId
This method sets the base Id known as base_user. From which the requests can be made.
object setId( int $id )
Parameters:
Id: Unique Id from which further requests can be performed.
Return Values:
Returns Ping object. FALSE on errors.
send
Sends the message to other user. This method creates automatically a new connection if there is no connection between users. If there exists a connection already it will use it to send message.
object send( int $to_id, string $message)
Parameters:
to_id: Unique Id to which the message to be sent.
message: The message field.
Return Values:
Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors.
object returned containes newly sent message id ->id
. It also containes connection id ->connection_id
and few others.
new
Creates new connection between users.
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
Checks whether a connection exists between base_user and provided user.
bool exists( int $user_two)

user_two: Unique Id. This method is dependent on setId()
Return Values:
Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors.
receive

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])
Parameters:
connection_id: Connection id.
seen: Mark unread messages as seen by base_user
. Default it will be as false
.
order: Order by ascending order or descending order using messages timestamp.
skip: number of messages to skip.
take: number of messages to retrive.
Return Values:
Returns object on Success. FALSE on errors or not found.
totalConnections

or provided user.
object totalConnections([int $user_id=null])
