Keynotes from docs

Before diving into event broadcasting, make sure you have read Laravel's documentation on events and listeners.

Event broadcasting is accomplished by a server-side broadcasting driver that broadcasts your Laravel events so that Laravel Echo (a JavaScript library) can receive them within the browser client.

All of your application's event broadcasting configuration is stored in the config/broadcasting.php configuration file.

Before broadcasting any events, you will first need to register the App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider.

You will need to configure and run a queue worker. All event broadcasting is done via queued jobs.

If you plan to broadcast your events using Pusher Channels, you should install the Pusher Channels PHP SDK.

composer require pusher/pusher-php-server

PUSHER_APP_ID=your-pusher-app-id
PUSHER_APP_KEY=your-pusher-key
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=your-pusher-secret
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=mt1

BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher

The laravel-websockets and soketi packages provide Pusher compatible WebSocket servers for Laravel.

Laravel Echo is a JavaScript library that makes it painless to subscribe to channels and listen for events broadcast by your server-side broadcasting driver.

npm install --save-dev laravel-echo pusher-js
