Join a room and start chatting! This course covers building a multi-room text chat app with Livewire using Laravel Reverb for real-time updates. Using presence channels and client-to-client whispering, we’ll also show who’s online, and who’s currently typing.

How do you render one million checkboxes in a browser and keep them synced in realtime? Well, using a combination of virtual scroll rendering, Redis bitmaps and bi-directional WebSocket communication. Let’s cover each of these concepts to build up this fun project — you’ll be surprised at how useful these techniques are for your own applications.

So you’ve built a realtime application. Now it’s time to deploy it. Laravel Forge makes it incredibly easy to toggle Reverb, which configures your server for you and sets up (nearly) everything you need to broadcast and listen for events. In this course, we’ll cover every step needed to get an local example application deployed to a production server, with a separate subdomain reserved for your Reverb connections.

Using the power of Reverb, let’s build a realtime multi-room chat with Laravel and Vue with Inertia, pulling in Pinia for state management. We’ll cover: - Using the Intersection Observer API to automatically load previous chat messages - State management with Pinia - Using presence channels to show online users for each room - Client-to client communication to show who’s typing - Using flexbox tricks to keep messages scrolled into view as they roll in
