About The Project

This is the final codebase for our Pusher tutorial.

About us

Pusher does Websocket infrastructure so you don't need to. Check us out.

Getting Started

If you don't want to follow the tutorial, and just want to get a local copy up and running, follow these steps.

Prerequisites

You will need PHP, Composer and Node.js. For MacOS I recommend installing them with Homebrew. For Windows see instructions for PHP, Composer and Node.

Installation

1. Get your free Pusher API Keys at https://pusher.com
2. Clone this repo
3. Install Composer packages

   composer install

4. Install NPM packages

   npm install

5. Create a sqlite database file in the database folder

   touch db.sqlite

6. Enter your API keys in .env

    PUSHER_APP_ID=
    PUSHER_APP_KEY=
    PUSHER_APP_SECRET=
    PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=
   

7. Enter the path to your database file

   DB_DATABASE=<Full path to the sqlite file>
   

8. Initilise the database

   php artisan migrate

9. Compile the webpages and run it

   npm run dev
   php artisan serve
