Send messages to centrifugo

You should just fire broadcastable event. See http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/events#broadcasting-events. Don't forget, that events are broadcasted into queued jobs, so configure your queues.

Connect from client

Use oficial centrifuge client library https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge-js. In your view:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/sockjs/1.0/sockjs.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://rawgit.com/centrifugal/centrifuge-js/master/centrifuge.js"></script>

<script>
    var centrifuge = new Centrifuge({!! json_encode(Centrifuge::getConnection($isSockJS = true)) !!});

    centrifuge.connect();

    centrifuge.on('connect', function() {
        var subscription = centrifuge.subscribe('test-channel', function(message) {
            console.log(message);
        });
    });
</script>
