+# Poosh-Laravel
+Super simple facade to send push messages via a [Poosh](https://github.com/joearcher/poosh) server.
+
+### Setup
+Require this package in composer.json and run `composer update`
+
+```javascript
+"joearcher/pooshlaravel": "dev-master"
+```
+After updating add the ServiceProvider the the providers array in `app/config/app.php`
+
+```php
+'Joearcher\Pooshlaravel\PooshlaravelServiceProvider',
+```
+And then you can add the facade to the Facades array
+
+```php
+'Tomatoes' =>	'Joearcher\Pooshlaravel\Facades\Poosh',
+```
+Publish the config
+
+```console
+artisan vendor:publish
+```
+
+This creates a `poosh.php` file in `app/config`, we recommend setting these options via your .env file
+
+`POOSH_SECRET` - This is the shared secret it needs to be the same as the one set on your Poosh server.
+`POOSH_URL` - The full url including the protocol to your Poosh server, e.g. `http://pooshserver.blaa`
+`POOSH_PORT` - The server port set on your Poosh server (Default is 1337).
+
+
+## Usage
+This facade currently provides one method `Poosh::send($event,$payload)` it requires 2 parameters, `$event` must be a `string`, this is the name of the event to fire on the client. `$payload` must be an `array` and is the payload to be sent to all clients listening for the event.
+
+````php
+	Poosh::send('message',['body' => 'This is a message'])''
+````
+## Thanks
+Made possible by the awesome [Guzzle Http client](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle)
