Configure Models

Introduction

Le Chat allows you to make any model chattable, making it possible to have conversations with any model, and even any combination of models.

Configure a Model for Chatting

First, prepare the models to send and receive messages. The models must use the IsChatParticipant trait. Also implement the ChatParticipantInterface interface in your models, which is a contract for all chat participants.

use Mmedia\LeChat\Contracts\ChatParticipantInterface;
use Mmedia\LeChat\Traits\IsChatParticipant;

class Teacher extends Model implements ChatParticipantInterface
{
    use IsChatParticipant;

    // Your model code here
}

class Student extends Model implements ChatParticipantInterface
{
    use IsChatParticipant;

    // Your model code here
}

Any model that implements the ChatParticipantInterface and uses the IsChatParticipant trait is now a chat participant. You can now send and receive messages between these models.
