# Customizations

This package allows you to customize almost everything, the controllers, models, views, assets, configurations ... like so.

So you have the full control on the package to do what ever you want, all you need is to publish the required asset  (e.g. controllers) to start your modifications on it.

## Package's assets

* `config`
* `views`
* `assets` (js, css, imgs)
* `models`
* `migrations`
* `controllers`

{% hint style="info" %}
The following assets already been published during the installation process:

`config`, `views`, `assets`, `models`, `migrations`

only the `controllers` asset is not published until you do.
{% endhint %}

## Publishing the assets

When you need to publish an asset, all you need is to run the following command :

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=chatify-<asset-name>
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Change`<asset-name>` with the required asset name (e.g. config) to be like `chatify-config`
{% endhint %}

## Controllers

You may want to do some modifications on the controllers of this package, so you need to follow the steps below:

1. Publish `controllers` asset

```
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:

{% code title="config/chatify.php" %}

```php
...
'namespace' => env('CHATIFY_ROUTES_NAMESPACE', 'App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify'),
```

{% endcode %}

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.

Thats all you need to do.

Now, You can work with package's controller and start your modifications.
