Support for Centrifugo Plugin in Laravel Bridge

[olexin-pro]

Hello,

While reviewing the list of supported plugins in the Laravel Bridge, I didn’t see the Centrifugo plugin mentioned.

Given that Centrifugo is often used to power real-time WebSocket communication, I was wondering if there are any plans to support it in the Laravel Bridge — particularly for use with Laravel's Broadcasting system.

Integrating Centrifugo could provide a high-performance backend for broadcasting events in Laravel applications using RoadRunner.

If support is not currently planned, I’d appreciate any thoughts or guidance on the feasibility of integrating it manually with the Laravel Bridge.

Thanks for your work on the project!

Hey!

Thanks for the question!

Yeah, adding support for the Centrifugo plugin isn’t too hard — it’s actually on my to-do list, just didn’t get to it yet 🙂 But if you’d like to help out, feel free to jump in!

You can take a look at how it’s done in the Spiral framework here:
https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner-bridge/tree/4.x/src/Centrifugo/Internal

And here’s the Centrifuge worker implementation used under the hood:
https://github.com/roadrunner-php/centrifugo

Basically, it just needs a new worker class inside the Laravel Bridge. If you’ve got some time and want to open a PR — that would be awesome!

Let me know if you need help getting started.

Hey, thanks a lot for the quick and helpful reply!

Awesome to hear it’s already on your to-do list — I’ll try to take a look and see if I can help out with the implementation. The links you shared are super helpful, I’ll start by exploring the Spiral example and the Centrifugo worker.

I’ll reach out if I run into any questions. Thanks again!
