TwoStream is a WebSocket server for Laravel 5, built upon Ratchet. This package is currently in beta stage and not complete. The most important functionality has been built but could use some more testing.

TwoStream is Laravel 5 only.

TwoStream currently depends on a slightly modified version of Ratchet, which I hope will be added in the 4.x release. However, for the time being to get this dependency you need to add the repository and requirement below in your composer.json.

For more information on how to install TwoStream, please visit the Documentation

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/CupOfTea696/Ratchet"
        }
    ],
	"require": {
        "cboden/ratchet": "dev-master",
	},

• ServiceProvider and Facades, add 'CupOfTea\TwoStream\TwoStreamServiceProvider', to your providers, and 'TwoStream' => 'CupOfTea\TwoStream\Facades\TwoStream', and 'WsRoute' => 'CupOfTea\TwoStream\Facades\WsRoute', to your aliases in config/app.php
• Installation command; run twostream:install before trying to use anything. (seriously!)
• WebSocket Server, boot with twostream:listen.
• Routing, use WsRoute::call, WsRoute::publish, WsRoute::subscribe, WsRoute::unsubscribe or WsRoute::controller to define WebSocket routes in app/Ws/routes.php. For implicit controllers, use the verbs call, publish, subscribe or unsubscribe and define your functions according to the Laravel Docs.
• Read-only Session data available in Ws Controllers via the WsSession Facade, add 'WsSession' => 'CupOfTea\TwoStream\Facades\WsSession', to your aliases in config/app.php
• Send response to all subscribers, all excluding requestee or requestee.
• Push events from server to all or specific user (using sessionId)

• Push events from server to all or specific user. (to sessionId = ✓, to username/user object ✖) (zmq)
• Clean up some code
• Improve Error Handling

TwoStream is heavily based on Latchet. Some of the internal workings and public API is entirely different, other parts are near copy-pasted from the original code. The main difference between TwoStream and Latchet is Laravel 5 support and read-only access to Session data. If you are using Laravel 4, please do go and use Latchet since it is pretty good. (Although the creator claims it's not even an alpha version. Believe me, it is.) If you use Laravel 5 however, feel free to start testing this out and contribute.
