Two user conversations

[guptanand]

Hi sir

I have tried to get the conversations message with two users(sender & receiver) but it is return null ,please see my function and tell

public function getConversationWithTwoUsers(Request $request, $withUserId)
{
$user = Auth::user();
$conversation = Chat::conversations()->between($user, User::find($withUserId));
dd($conversation);
}

return null

Thank you

You will need to actually add a second user and pass the Request object to retrieve it, that's what you are missing
in your $conversation variable, try to do User::find($request->withUserId)); and then through your form pass a user id parameter, below is the refactored code.

public function getConversationWithTwoUsers(Request $request, $withUserId)
{
$user = Auth::user();
$conversation = Chat::conversations()->between($user, User::find($request->withUserId));
dd($conversation);
}

This only gets conversations that are direct, make sure direct_message is 1.
