Laravel Live Messaging System

Heey everyone! I was doing a project using Laravel, and now I get to the point to make a private one-to-one chat. So far I made chat using Database, which requires reloadings and etc. But I want to enhance it, so that is was really good, with stuff like: writing, automatic receiving and sending (without reloading page).

What can you offer and why?

Use ajax or websocket.

In ajax, you can simply fetch new messages and update the DOM by using setInterval.

function start() {
    $start = setInterval(function() {
        fetch_chat_messages();    
    }, 3000);
}
start();

The only disadvantage here is that the DOM keeps on refreshing.

While in Websocket, realtime communication will be possible. I will recommend you to use http://socket.io/.

Goodluck!
