Installation instructions for Laravel 4 can be found here.
Installation (Laravel 5.x)
In composer.json:
"require": {
"cmgmyr/messenger": "~2.0"
}
Run:
composer update
Add the service provider to config/app.php
under providers
:
'providers' => [
Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider::class,
]
Publish Assets
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider"
Update config file to reference your User Model:
config/messenger.php
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.
Note: if you already have a users
table and run into any issues with foreign keys, you may have to make the id
unsigned.
Migrate your database:
php artisan migrate
Add the trait to your user model:
use Cmgmyr\Messenger\Traits\Messagable;
class User extends Model {
use Messagable;
}
Examples
Note: These examples use the laravelcollective/html package that is no longer included in Laravel 5 out of the box. Make sure you require this dependency in your composer.json
file if you intend to use the example files.
