pikoman/compat-laravel

A Laravel broadcast driver for Pikoman. Your events, routes/channels.php and Laravel Echo code stay as they are with Pusher; the browser uses @pikoman/compat in place of pusher-js. Laravel 11, 12 and 13, PHP 8.2 or later with the curl, openssl and sodium extensions. It is built on pikoman/compat-php, which Composer installs with it, and which is also for PHP without Laravel.

Install

composer require pikoman/compat-laravel
npm install @pikoman/compat

.env:

BROADCAST_CONNECTION=pikoman
PIKOMAN_APP=app-yourapp
PIKOMAN_API_KEY=sk_...
PIKOMAN_PRIVATE_KEY=MC4CAQAwBQYDK2Vw...
VITE_PUSHER_APP_KEY="${PIKOMAN_APP}"

resources/js/echo.js: import Pusher from "@pikoman/compat"; in place of pusher-js.

Then php artisan config:clear and npm run build.

What it covers

Public, private, presence and encrypted channels (EncryptedPrivateChannel, with PIKOMAN_ENCRYPTION_KEY in .env: 32 random bytes, base64, which Pikoman never sees), routes/channels.php authorization (presence with the info your callback returns), and broadcasting events to up to 100 channels at a time, and toOthers() (with Echo's X-Socket-ID, as with Pusher).
