BigBlueButton API Wrapper for Laravel

This is a laravel wrapper for BigBlueButton API

Requirements

Laravel 5.5 or above.

Installation

Require package in your composer.json and update composer. This downloads the package and the official bigbluebutton php library.

composer require djoudi/bbb-laravel

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

 Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\BigbluebuttonProviderService::class,

You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

'Meeting' => Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\BigbluebuttonMeeting::class,

Usage

You can define Big blue button secret key and server url in two ways.

Define in .env file

BBB_SECURITY_SALT =bbb_secret_key
BBB_SERVER_BASE_URL=https://example.com/bigbluebutton/

Define in config/bigbluebutton.php

 'BBB_SECURITY_SALT' => 'bbb_secret_key',
 'BBB_SERVER_BASE_URL' => 'https://example.com/bigbluebutton/',

Via Dependency Injection in Controller

List all meetings

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class MeetingController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @var \Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting
     */
    protected $meeting;

    public function __construct(Meeting $meeting)
    {
        $this->meeting = $meeting;
    }
    /**
     *  Returns a list of meetings
     */
    public function all()
    {
        $meetings = $this->meeting->all();
        if ($meetings) {
            // do something with meetings
        }
    }

Create meeting

use Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting;
use BigBlueButton\Parameters\CreateMeetingParameters;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class MeetingController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @var \Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting
     */
    protected $meeting;

    public function __construct(Meeting $meeting)
    {
        $this->meeting = $meeting;
    }

    /**
         * Create a bigbluebutton meeting
         *
         * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
         * @return void
         */
        public function create(Request $request)
        {
            $meetingParams = new CreateMeetingParameters($request->meetingId, $request->meetingName);
            $meetingParams->setDuration(40);
            $meetingParams->setModeratorPassword('supersecretpwd');
    
            if ($this->meeting->create($meetingParams)) {
                // Meeting was created
            }
        }

Join a meeting

use Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting;
use BigBlueButton\Parameters\JoinMeetingParameters;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class MeetingController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @var \Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting
     */
    protected $meeting;

    public function __construct(Meeting $meeting)
    {
        $this->meeting = $meeting;
    }
    /**
     *  Join a bigbluebutton meeting
     *
     * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     * @return void
     */
    public function join(Request $request)
    {
        $meetingParams = new JoinMeetingParameters($request->meetingID, $request->meetingName, 'MyMeetingPassword');
        $meetingParams->setRedirect(true);
        $meetingUrl = $this->meeting->join($meetingParams);
        redirect()->setTargetUrl($meetingUrl);
    }

}

Close meeting

use Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting;
use BigBlueButton\Parameters\EndMeetingParameters;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class MeetingController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @var \Djoudi\Bigbluebutton\Contracts\Meeting
     */
    protected $meeting;

    public function __construct(Meeting $meeting)
    {
        $this->meeting = $meeting;
    }
    
    /**
     * End a bigbuebutton meeting
     *
     * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     * @return void
     */
    public function close(Request $request)
    {
        $meetingParams = new EndMeetingParameters($request->meetingID, $request->moderator_password);
        $this->meeting->close($meetingParams);
    }
}
