Live Belt Example

This is a simple example of how to use the Live Belt library to create a simple realtime connection to Conveyor WebSocket Server, making it trivial to have secure realtime functionalities in your Laravel application.

Important: you need OpenSwoole PHP Extension installed. (https://openswoole.com)

Video where I built this:

Simply clone this repository and run the common steps:

composer install # php dependencies
npm install # js dependencies

cd conveyor && composer install && ../ # php dependencies for conveyor

Then, run on 3 different terminals:

Terminal 1: Run the PHP HTTP Server

php artisan serve --port 8080

Terminal 2: Run the Vite Bundle

npm run dev

Terminal 3: Run Conveyor WebSocket Server

cd conveyor && php server.php

Terminal 4: Run Tinker and dispatch events!

php artisan tinker

Then...

event(new \App\Events\NotificationReady( message: 'Message from Conveyor 2', channel: 'notifications-'));

Notice that this channel has a dash (-) at the end, it is there because in this example we don't have anybody logged in, and in our live-belt component the channel specification won't add anything there.
