A Collection of Demo Applications with Laravel + WebRTC

A Collection of Laravel Projects

This repository contains a collection of applications built with Laravel.
At the moment I've been hacking around WebRTC so most of the applications are about WebRTC.
Most of them are demo applications for various Technical Articles I've written and going to write on Dev.to and Medium.

There are endpoints for some other applications I've built as well.

Consider Sponsoring.

I plan to explore various Real Time Communication offerings and build demo apps and write about them. To keep me going, you may consider sponsoring so that I dedicate a enough time to it. Interestingly, it seems a lot of people have found it helpful given the number of emails and queries I receive for support in one way or the other.

❤️ Sponsor

Project Setup

1. Clone the repository.
   git clone https://github.com/Mupati/laravel-video-chat

2. Install dependencies
   composer install && npm install

3. Create your env file from the example.
   cp env.example env

4. Add your db details, pusher API keys and TURN SERVER credentials.

Running the Application

1. php artisan serve to start the server and npm run start to start the frontend.
2. Note that the register endpoint has been removed to prevent people from creating
   a lot of users when they want to try out the online demo. In your local copy you can enable it in the routes/web.php file.
