README

A simple Laravel library that wraps the Facebook customer chat plugin in your website.

Installation

Facebook Customer Chat docs can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/discovery/customer-chat-plugin/

Before installing the plugin please follow the instructions on this page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/discovery/customer-chat-plugin/#steps

To install the wrapper simply run the following command

composer require ltsochev/laravel-fb-chat

Installation prior Laravel 5.6

On older versions of Laravel you don't have the luxury of package autodiscovery so you'll have to manually add it to your project.

First off you'll need to publish the configuration of the project

php artisan vendor:publish

Once the configurations are extracted you can edit the settings in your config/customerchat.php file

Once you are done with the settings you should add the service provider in your config/app.php file like so:

<?php 

    'providers' => [
        ...
        Ltsochev\CustomerChat\CustomerChatServiceProvider::class,
        ...
    ]

By default the wrapper uses an auto-inject technique so you should be able to see the Facebook chat plugin immediately.
