centrifuge-broadcaster

Centrifuge and centrifugo broadcaster for laravel 5.1

Centrifuge is not supported at this time because changes made during the upgrade Centrifugo to 1.0 broken backward compatibility.

Send messages to centrifugo

You should just fire broadcastable event. See http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/events#broadcasting-events. Don't forget, that events are broadcasted into queued jobs, so configure your queues.

Connect from client

Use oficial centrifuge client library https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge-js. In your view:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/sockjs/1.0/sockjs.min.js"></script>

    var centrifuge = new Centrifuge({!! json_encode(Centrifuge::getConnection($isSockJS = true)) !!});
