Larandomizer

Larandomizer is a websocket server application written with Laravel and React PHP to give away prizes at meetups and conferences and to teach async in PHP. This repository is the Laravel application that you install and deploy. It includes all the necessary ReactPHP components as dependencies.

From the talk, It's All PHP I Promise

Installation

The application installs like any Laravel application. The following shows one possible way to install the application. While Composer is required, Yarn is optional and you could just as easily use NPM instead.

git clone https://github.com/larandomizer/app ./
composer install
yarn install
npm run production
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Extra Dependencies

If you plan to use any AWS resources and specifically the S3 filesystem then you will want to install the league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 dependency. If you plan to use the APIs to interact with the Beanstalkd realtime queue bridge then you'll also need to install the pda/pheanstalk dependency:

• composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 ~1.0
• composer require pda/pheanstalk ~3.0

Usage Guide

This application depends on artisansdk/server which is a service-based, Laravel PHP implementation of an async, realtime, WebSocket server you also can use in your realtime dashboards and applications. See this package's readme for more installation and configuration notes including a usage guide.

TLDR: Run php artisan server:start and the app connects to wss://localhost:8080.

Configuration Settings

The configuration settings of the artisansdk/server service have been published to config/server.php which is where you will be able to customize some of the settings. Additionally the .env.example file already has the environmental variables included for customization.
