# Customizations

You may want to do your own customizations and modifications on the code such as the `views` or the `controllers` to add a new feature for example ... etc. so, all you need is to publish the required `asset` mentioned below and start your own customizations!

## 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 %}

same for `api_routes`, change the `namespace` to `App\Http\Controllers\vendor\Chatify\Api`&#x20;

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

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

{% 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 ..&#x20;

the same for `Api\MessagesController.php` .

Thats all you need to do.

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

* Messenger name.
* Messenger colors.
* Messenger Max upload size.
