Simple Messaging

By Chris Bartek

This is essentially a Slack clone I built on and off in the span of 48 hours, written in Laravel + Vue.

Features:

Real-time communication. People list is not updated in real-time. [MOSTLY DONE]
Map reveals locations of all users [DONE]
User can send messages to all users, some users, or selected users. [DONE]
Message marked as read in interface. Marks in database but not in interface. [MOSTLY DONE]
User can delete message or location history. [DONE]
Database seeded with data. (See below for SQL) [DONE]

Install the PHP dependencies using composer:

composer install

Install the NodeJS dependencies using npm:

npm install

Copy .env.example to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Set the database variables in .env for your development environment:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Run the database migrations using artisan:

php artisan migrate

Start hot reloading for the interface (Vue, Vuetify):

npm run hot

Start serving the application if needed:

php artisan serve

Load the sample.db file into MySQL to seed the database.

Load the application URL in your browser:

http://localhost:8000

Logins to try: chris@test.com tom@test.com sally@test.com (all passwords are "password").

You can also create your own account.
