I am relatively new to Laravel/PHP and WordPress development.
Recently, I began creating a theme for my website, and thanks to Sage and Acorn, it has been a fantastic experience.
At this point, I would like to know the best way to add a chat system to my website.
I have gone through part of the Laravel documentation and noticed mentions of Reverb and other libraries for creating a live chat.
However, if I’m not mistaken, using Reverb requires the illuminate/broadcasting package, which is not supported by Roots/Acorn.
I am curious about alternative methods for establishing a WebSocket connection for a live chat system.
Additionally, I noticed that there was an update to the Acorn config files that included a setting for broadcasting, so is it possible to use Reverb within my WordPress theme, and would this require me to upgrade Acorn to version 5.x-beta?
Currently, I am using PHP 8.2, Sage 10.x, Acorn 4.3, and Livewire 3.x.
Thank you for your assistance!
