How to integrate Chatbox in laravel

Firstly you have to register the users in your chat app for this you can use the APIs of quickblox (https://quickblox.com/developers/Users).

After registration of users, open your login blade file and add the following code:

<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#myform1').click(function(){ sessionStorage.clear(); var login = $('#login-name').val(); var pass = $('#login-pass').val(); sessionStorage.setItem('login',login ); sessionStorage.setItem('pass', pass); }); }); </script>

Where, #myform1 is the id of login form, #login-name is the id of username/email and #login-pass is the id password input field. In the above, code we are just storing the user's credentails in a session so that we can use this in connection.js which allows user to start chat.
