Laravel Echo Vue Helpers

configureEcho

You must call this function somewhere in your app before you use useEcho in a component to configure your Echo instance. You only need to pass the required data:

import { configureEcho } from "@laravel/echo-vue";

configureEcho({
    broadcaster: "reverb",
});

Based on your brodcaster, the package will fill in appropriate defaults for the rest of the config based on the Echo documentation. You can always override these values by simply passing in your own.

In the above example, the configuration would also fill in the following keys if they aren't present:

{
    key: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY,
    wsHost: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_HOST,
    wsPort: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_PORT,
    wssPort: import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_PORT,
    forceTLS: (import.meta.env.VITE_REVERB_SCHEME ?? 'https') === 'https',
    enabledTransports: ['ws', 'wss'],
}

useEcho Hook

Connect to private channel:

import { useEcho } from "@laravel/echo-vue";

const { leaveChannel, leave, stopListening, listen } = useEcho(
    `orders.${orderId}`,
    "OrderShipmentStatusUpdated",
    (e) => {
        console.log(e.order);
    },
);

// Stop listening without leaving channel
stopListening();

// Start listening again
listen();

// Leave channel
leaveChannel();

// Leave a channel and also its associated private and presence channels
leave();

Multiple events:

useEcho(
    `orders.${orderId}`,
    ["OrderShipmentStatusUpdated", "OrderShipped"],
    (e) => {
        console.log(e.order);
    },
);

Specify shape of payload data:

type OrderData = {
    order: {
        id: number;
        user: {
            id: number;
            name: string;
        };
        created_at: string;
    };
};

useEcho<OrderData>(`orders.${orderId}`, "OrderShipmentStatusUpdated", (e) => {
    console.log(e.order.id);
    console.log(e.order.user.id);
});

Connect to public channel:

useEchoPublic("posts", "PostPublished", (e) => {
    console.log(e.post);
});

Connect to presence channel:

useEchoPresence("posts", "PostPublished", (e) => {
    console.log(e.post);
});

Listening for model events:

useEchoModel("App.Models.User", userId, ["UserCreated", "UserUpdated"], (e) => {
    console.log(e.model);
});
