AnyChat 💬

Lightweight. Stateless. Instant.
A support-first chat widget for Laravel, powered by Livewire and Alpine.js.

AnyChat is a stateless Livewire chat widget designed for Laravel applications. It enables real-time support interactions with zero database migrations and zero authentication overhead. Messages persist in the local session, making it the perfect privacy-first solution for landing pages and lead generation.

✨ Key Features

Stateless by Design: No database bloat. Messages stay in the user's session.
Plug & Play: Zero configuration required to get started.
Reactive: Built on Livewire and Alpine.js for a snappy, real-time feel.
Theming: Full dark mode support and deep customization via Blade props.

📦 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require saammi/any-chat

🛠 Usage

The Chat Widget Place the component in your public-facing Blade templates:

 <livewire:anychat-widget />

The Response Dashboard Access incoming messages using the administrative dashboard component:

<livewire:anychat-dashboard />

Prerequisites Ensure your layout file includes the required Livewire and Alpine.js assets:

<html>
<head>
    @livewireStyles
</head>
<body>
    {{ $slot }}

    @livewireScripts
    <script defer src="[https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js](https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js)"></script>
</body>
</html>

Setup reverb or pusher and you are good to go.

🎨 Customization You can fine-tune the widget appearance directly through props:

<livewire:anychat-widget 
    height="500px" 
    width="400px" 
    variant="outline" 
    primaryColor="#7c3aed"
    adminColor="#f3f4f6"
/>

🧪 Testing We maintain a robust test suite using PHPUnit and Laravel Dusk to ensure stability across PHP and Laravel versions.

Unit Tests:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite Unit

Browser Tests (Dusk):

# Update ChromeDriver to match your local version
./vendor/bin/dusk-updater detect --auto-update

# Run the browser suite
./vendor/bin/testbench dusk
