Laravel 5.3 Chat application using Socket.IO, Redis, Vue.js and Event Broadcasting

This is simple chat application using standard libraries except 'laravel-echo-server' which I think completely unnecessary.

Installation

Clone this repository into your machine.

git clone https://github.com/gdbhosale/chat-laravel-socketio-redis-vuejs.git

Install Laravel

composer install

Make sure you have your .env configuration as below:

SOCKET_PORT=3000

BROADCAST_DRIVER=redis
CACHE_DRIVER=redis
SESSION_DRIVER=redis
QUEUE_DRIVER=redis

Install Redis server

// Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install redis-server

// MacOS
brew install redis

Run Redis server in new terminal window / tab

redis-server

This application needs Laravel Queue to Run Events Broadcasting. Make sure you have used QUEUE_DRIVER=redis. Run Laravel Queue Command in new terminal window / tab

php artisan queue:listen

Now you need to download Socket.IO server and other dependencies via npm.

npm install

Now start Socket.IO server

node socket.js

Now Check your application in Browser.
