Puller

A laravel package for broadcasting events using long-polling

Installation

php artisan install:broadcasting  # do not install reverb, puller will be used instead
composer require as247/puller
php artisan migrate
npm i puller-js

Usage

1. Update broadcasting driver in .env file

BROADCAST_DRIVER=puller

2. Configure Echo

import Echo from 'laravel-echo'
import Puller from 'puller-js'
window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: Puller.echoConnect,
});

Troubleshooting

• If Laravel does not pick up the puller driver, add it to your bootstrap/providers.php:

  <?php
  
  return [
      App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
      // ... your other service providers ...
      As247\Puller\PullerServiceProvider::class,
  ];
  

• To publish the puller configuration as well as database migrations, run this command: php artisan vendor:publish --provider "As247\Puller\PullerServiceProvider"
