#Yii2 Simple Chat
A simple chat for your yii2 application
##Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).
Either run
```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist bubasuma/yii2-simplechat
```
or add
```
"bubasuma/yii2-simplechat": "*"
```
to the require section of your `composer.json` file.
##Demo
Once the extension is installed, simply modify your application configuration as follows:
```php
return [
'bootstrap' => ['simplechat'],
'modules' => [
'simplechat' => [
'class' => 'bubasuma\simplechat\Module',
],
// ...
],
// ...
];
```
Use the same configuration for your console application:
>Note: You need this configuration to access simple chat via command line. You can remove it in production mode.
You can access Simple Chat via command line as follows:
```
# change path to your application's base path
cd path/to/AppBasePath
# show available commands
php yii simplechat
# create test tables, generates and load fixtures
php yii simplechat/start
# unload fixtures
php yii simplechat/clean
# unload fixtures and load them again
php yii simplechat/reset
# unload fixtures and drop test tables
php yii simplechat/stop
```
You can specify different options of the `start` and `reset` command:
```
# You can specify how many fixtures per user and message you need by the --users and --messages options
php yii simplechat/start --users=50 --messages=10000
php yii simplechat/reset --users=20 --messages=5000
# You can specify in what language to generate fixtures by the --language option. Thanks to yii2-faker
php yii simplechat/start --language="ru_RU"
php yii simplechat/reset --language="fr_FR"
```
You can then access Simple Chat through the following URL:
```
http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=messages
```
or if you have enabled pretty URLs, you may use the following URL:
```
http://localhost/path/to/index.php/messages
```
You should see the below:
If not, please check if demo migration has been successfully applied against your database. You can check it by running the following command:
```
php yii simplechat/start
```
>Note: the command above is accessible only if you have configured your console application as it is recommended above.
##Usage
Extend the main `conversation` class like follow:
```php
namespace common\models;
use common\models\User;
//...
class Conversation extends \bubasuma\simplechat\db\Conversation
{
public function getContact()
{
return $this->hasOne(User::className(), ['id' => 'contact_id']);
}
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
protected static function baseQuery($userId)
{
return parent::baseQuery($userId) ->with(['contact.profile']);
}
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
public function fields()
{
return [
//...
'contact' => function ($model) {
return $model['contact'];
},
'deleteUrl',
'readUrl',
'unreadUrl',
//...
];
}
}
```
Extend the main `message` class like follow:
```php
namespace common\models;
//...
class Message extends \bubasuma\simplechat\db\Message
{
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
public function fields()
{
return [
//...
'text',
'date' => 'created_at',
//...
];
}
}
```
Create a controller like follow:
```php
namespace frontend\controllers;
//...
use yii\web\Controller;
use common\models\Conversation;
use common\models\Message;
use bubasuma\simplechat\controllers\ControllerTrait;
//...
class MessageController extends Controller
{
use ControllerTrait;
/**
* @return string
*/
public function getMessageClass()
{
return Message::className();
}
/**
* @return string
*/
public function getConversationClass()
{
return Conversation::className();
}
}
```
>Note: If you are using this extension in your frontend application, you can find the usage of widgets in `index.twig`.
##FAQ
**Does this extension work with any template engines other than `twig`?**
Yes. Given that, the default render in `yii2` is `php`, you must indicate explicitly the extension part in view names.
**Can I use this extension in a RESTful APIs?**
Yes, You can.
**Can I use different template engines for rendering in server side and client side?**
Yes. But using the same template in both sides remains the best implementation.
