Introduction
This is a Laravel package to help promote social proof and legitimacy within your application. With a simple blade component added to any page you can share with potential customers or users that other customers are using and/or paying for your product. A simple pop-up will display in the corner of page with information such as "Someone from New York purchased the business plan 2 minutes ago."
Full documentation can be found at laravelbandwagon.com
Getting Started
Installation
You can install this package via composer using:
composer require bndwgn/laravel-bandwagon
The package will automatically register its service provider.
To publish the config file to config/bandwagon.php run:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bndwgn\Bandwagon\BandwagonServiceProvider"
Rendering the component
To render the component just add the component to any or all desired pages like so:
<x-bandwagon-renderer />
Publishing an event to users
To use the example of sharing a purchase with people who are on the purchase page of your application you would just add the following:
// App/Http/Controllers/PurchaseController.php
use Bndwgn\Bandwagon\Bandwagon;
public function purchase(Request $request, Product $product)
{
$user = Auth::user();
// ... logic to charge a customer
Bandwagon::createEvent(
"Someone from ${$user->state}",
"Purchased the ${$product->displayName} plan",
$request->ip(),
route('purchase', $product->id)
);
}
This will create a new Bandwagon record which then any users who are on the purchase page where you render the component (<x-bandwagon-renderer />) will see.
