Gup Android App Link

Technologies:

• MySQL
• Laravel
• Laravel Websockets for Realtime Chat

How to run:

Installing Dependencies: composer install

Run xampp (if you are on localhost): open phpmyadmin and create a database named gupp (keep it small case)

Run database migrations: php artisan migrate

To run Laravel project use: php artisan serv --host your-local-ip-here

e.g: php artisan serv --host 192.168.1.1

You need to start it this way so your android app can easily access otherwise you can just run: php artisan serve

To run laravel websockets use: php artisan websockets:serve

But you have to run few migration and config commands before this which you can find on documentation in installation section.

Further you can read about Laravel Websockets from documentation
