Notes

  • This is a Laravel package and must be installed in a laravel application to run.
  • Read through the messenger.php config file before migrating!
  • This is a pure backend driven package providing an API to interact with, thus no web UI or websocket implementation will be setup for you.
  • Calling is disabled by default. You are responsible for implementing your own media server or connecting to a 3rd party provider.
  • Configure your laravel applications broadcast driver and set up your websocket implementation to utilize the real-time broadcast emitted.
