Alternatively, you may use the global event helper function to fire events:
1 event(new PodcastWasPurchased($podcast));
Broadcasting Events
In many modern web applications, web sockets are used to implement real-time, live-updating user
interfaces. When some data is updated on the server, a message is typically sent over a websocket
connection to be handled by the client.
To assist you in building these types of applications, Laravel makes it easy to “broadcast” your events
over a websocket connection. Broadcasting your Laravel events allows you to share the same event
names between your server-side code and your client-side JavaScript framework.
Configuration
All of the event broadcasting configuration options are stored in the config/broadcasting.php
configuration file. Laravel supports several broadcast drivers out of the box: Pusher¹⁸⁴, Redis, and a
log driver for local development and debugging. A configuration example is included for each of
these drivers.
Broadcast Prerequisites
The following dependencies are needed for event broadcasting:
