FireBase Broadcast Driver

Installation

• the package internally use kreait/firebase-php to send data to firebase.

Config

// config/broadcasting

return [
    'connections' => [
        // ...

        'firebase' => [
            'driver'          => 'firebase',
            'type'            => 'firestore', // database, firestore or messaging
            'databaseURL'     => env('FB_DB_URL'), // the real time database url
            'creds_file'      => env('FB_CREDENTIALS_FILE'), // service account json file
            'collection_name' => env('FB_COLLECTION_NAME'), // ex.notifications
        ],
    ],
];

Usage

• add BROADCAST_DRIVER=firebase to .env

• atm there no support for laravel-echo "any help is appreciated" but no worries, you still get the same payload as other broadcast drivers.

  however you can check the firebase api docs or vuefire if you are using vue, on how to listen for changes and update your app users accordingly.
