The following assets already been published during the installation process:
config, views, assets, models, migrationsonly the
controllers asset is not published until you do.When you need to publish an asset, all you need is to run the following command :
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=chatify-<asset-name>
Change
<asset-name> with the required asset name (e.g. config) to be like chatify-configYou may want to do some modifications on the controllers of this package, so you need to follow the steps below:
- 1.Publish
controllersasset
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=chatify-controllers
2. Go to
config/chatify.php and from routes properties, change namespace to App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify to be like the following:config/chatify.php
...
'namespace' => env('CHATIFY_ROUTES_NAMESPACE', 'App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify'),
same for
api_routes, change the namespace to App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify\Api config/chatify.php
...
'namespace' => env('CHATIFY_API_ROUTES_NAMESPACE', 'App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify\Api').
3. Go to
app/Http/Controllers/vendor/Chatify and open MessagesController.php with your code editor .. then change the namespace to the same namespace specified in the step 2 above .. the same for

When you want to override a method in
ChatifyMessenger.php which is the main class of Chatify, then you have to follow the steps below:- Create a class in your Laravel application (e.g.
CustomChatify.php). - inside your class, extend
Chatify/ChatifyMessenger
// CustomChatify.php
<?php
//...
use Chatify\ChatifyMessenger
class CustomChatify extends ChatifyMessenger{
// Here, override the methods you want.
// For example:
public function fetchMessage($id, $index = null)
{
//...
}
}
- Use your custom class
CustomChatifyatMessegesController.phpfor both web and api controllers if needed, instead ofChatify:
// MessagesController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify;
//...
use Chatify\Facades\ChatifyMessenger as Chatify; // instead of this (remove it)
use Path\To\CustomChatify as Chatify; // use this (yours), use the right path/namespace to your custom class.
//...
class MessagesController extends Controller
{
//...
}
other customization such as
- Messenger name.
- Messenger colors.
