PubNub Broadcasting Events Driver for Laravel

Install Via Composer

composer require cwt137/laravel-pubnub-broadcast-driver

Setup Laravel

Add the service provider Cwt137\PubnubDriver\PubnubServiceProvider in your config/app.php file. Then in the .env file, add the following API keys:

PUBNUB_PUBLISH_KEY={YOUR_PUBNUB_PUBLISH_KEY}
PUBNUB_SUBSCRIBE_KEY={YOUR_PUBNUB_SUBSCRIBE_KEY}

Where {YOUR_PUBNUB_PUBLISH_KEY} and {YOUR_PUBNUB_SUBSCRIBE_KEY} are your PubNub publish and subscribe keys, respectively.

Next in your config/broadcasting.php file, under the connections array, add the PubNub settings:

        'pubnub' => [
            'driver' => 'pubnub',
            'publish_key' => env('PUBNUB_PUBLISH_KEY'),
            'subscribe_key' => env('PUBNUB_SUBSCRIBE_KEY'),
        ],

You probably want to change the defaut driver to pubnub.

Using Driver

You can use php artisan make:event {Name} to make a Laravel Event. Inside the event, implement the ShouldBroadcast interface by declaring a broadcastOn method. In that method you should return an array of channels you want to broadcast on.
