What's a Thead in FOSMessageBundle

I don't understand what the thread class is in FOSMessageBundle (https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSMessageBundle).

Could you explain what it represents?

Solution

  • A thread is like a conversation, it contains a list of messages between the same participants.

    A close look at the model class will help you understand how it works:

    A thread contains a collection of Messages as well as important Metadata about the thread.

    /**
 * Messages contained in this thread.
 *
 * @var Collection|MessageInterface[]
 */
protected $messages;
/**
 * Thread metadata.
 *
 * @var Collection|ThreadMetadata[]
 */
protected $metadata;

/**
 * Users participating in this conversation.
 *
 * @var Collection|ParticipantInterface[]
 */
protected $participants;
