Broadcasting Chat Setup

Things to Remember

1. Routes/Channels

• Define your broadcast channels in routes/channels.php.

2. MessageEvent

• Ensure that your MessageEvent implements the ShouldQueue interface to queue the event.

3. Configuration

• Update the config/broadcast.php configuration file as needed.

4. Queueing

• Run the queue worker with the following command:

  php artisan queue:work

• Alternatively, you can set the QUEUE_CONNECTION to sync for immediate execution:

  env_file

  QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
