[Messenger Demo App]

---

Checkout the [LIVE DEMO]

Prerequisites

• PHP >= 8.0.2
• Laravel >= 9.x
• MySQL >= 8.x
• [PHPREDIS]if using redis for drivers, which our default .env.example has set.

Notes

• This demo is meant to be seeded before use. Registration also assumes a pre-seeded database, as we automatically create threads between the admin user and a newly registered user, as well as set friendships.
• Calling will be disabled by default. Even though we have our [janus-client] installed, you are responsible for setting up your own Janus Server.
• Please see [Janus official docs] for more information.
• We use pusher.com by default for our websocket implementation, however you may choose to use the drop-in replacement [laravel-websockets]
