I am trying to broadcast an event without success. I can't find what the issue is and i am out of ideas. The error i am getting is.
"Too few arguments to function App\Events\ConversationUpdate::__construct(),
1 passed in /app/Events/ConversationUpdate.php on line 36 and exactly 2 expected"
What i am trying to do is when a message is created, broadcast an event to the chat and update the chat with the new message in realtime.
here is my code:
Controller:
public function newConversationMessage(Thread $conversation, Request $request)
{
$user = Auth::user();
$message = Message::create([
'thread_id' => $conversation->id,
'user_id' => $user->id,
'body' => $request->body,
]);
$message->user;
broadcast(new ConversationUpdate($conversation->id, $message));
return $message;
}
Event:
namespace App\Events;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
class ConversationUpdate implements ShouldBroadcast
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;
public $conversationId;
public $message;
/**
* Create a new event instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($conversationId, $message)
{
$this->conversationId = $conversationId;
$this->message = $message;
}
public function broadcastOn()
{
return new ConversationUpdate('conversation-'.$this->conversationId.'-updated');
}
}
on function broadcastOn()
you should return something like this
return new PrivateChannel('conversation-'.$this->conversationId.'-updated');
and not another instance of the the same class you are in (the error depends infact to the single argument you are passing in the constructor)
