• Subscribe to channels and get notified via email when a new thread is created in the channel.
• Subscribe to threads and get notified via email when replies are added.
• Thread view count is tracked.

Installation

You can install the package via composer and publish assets:

composer require seongbae/discuss
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Seongbae\Discuss\DiscussServiceProvider"

When you publish files, the config/discuss.php config file will be generated. In this file, you can set pagination count, user image field, and other various configurations for your application.

The package uses bootstrap-vue component. Install it with following command:

npm install bootstrap-vue

Update your app.js to include following code:

import { BootstrapVue } from 'bootstrap-vue'
Vue.component('thread', require('./components/Thread.vue').default);
Vue.component('reply', require('./components/Reply.vue').default);
Vue.component('channel-subscribe', require('./components/ChannelSubscribe.vue').default);
Vue.use(BootstrapVue)

Then run npm commands:

npm install
npm run dev
