Installation

1. Add the following to your composer.json file:

   // composer.json
   {
       // ...
       require: {
           // ...
           "cunningsoft/chat-bundle": "0.5.*"
       }
   }

2. Run composer update cunningsoft/chat-bundle to install the new dependencies.

3. Register the new bundle in your AppKernel.php: (note, that you also need to add the KnpTimeBundle here)

   <?php
   // in AppKernel::registerBundles()
   $bundles = array(
       // ...
       new Cunningsoft\ChatBundle\CunningsoftChatBundle(),
       new Knp\Bundle\TimeBundle\KnpTimeBundle(),
       // ...
   );

4. Let your user entity implement the Cunningsoft\ChatBundle\Entity\AuthorInterface:

   // Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity\User.php
   <?php
   
   namespace Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity;
   
   use Cunningsoft\ChatBundle\Entity\AuthorInterface;
   
   class User implements AuthorInterface
   {
       // ...

5. Map the interface to your user entity in your config.yml:

   // app/config/config.yml
   // ...
   doctrine:
       orm:
           resolve_target_entities:
               Cunningsoft\ChatBundle\Entity\AuthorInterface: Acme\ProjectBundle\Entity\User

6. Update your database schema:

   $ app/console doctrine:schema:update

7. Configure the chat bundle:

   // app/config/config.yml
   // ...
   cunningsoft_chat:
       # refresh interval in milliseconds
       update_interval: 5000
       # messages to be shown in chat
       number_of_messages: 10

8. Import routes:

   // app/config/routing.yml
   // ...
   cunningsoft_chat_bundle:
       resource: "@CunningsoftChatBundle/Controller"
       type: annotation

9. Render the chat in your template:

   // src/Acme/ProjectBundle/Resources/views/Default/index.html.twig
   // ...
   {% render(controller('CunningsoftChatBundle:Chat:show')) %}
   // ...
