Create a real time chat application based on Laravel, Vuejs, Redis and Laravel-Echo

[axit-joost]

Create a multi user, real time chat application using Laravel, Redis, Laravel-Echo-Server and Vuejs.

Fork this repo and perform the following tasks:

• Create a new Laravel application and scaffold the auth
• Multiple users should be able to register and logon to the application
• The application must show the chat history, utilizing Redis as a cache
• The front-end should be styled using a current version of the Bootstrap framework
• The front-end must use a Vuejs component (that you author yourself) for the displaying of the chat history and the ability to send chat messages
• The Vuejs component should use Axios to communicate with the Laravel back-end
• The Laravel back-end should utilize Events and Broadcast to a channel
• Broadcasting should leverage Redis
• Laravel-Echo-Server must observe Redis for applicable broadcasted events
• Laravel-Echo must utilize Socket.io to connect the front-end to the Laravel-Echo-Server
• The front-end of participating users must update without having to reload the screen

Additional kudos (for extra credit):

• When a user is typing the message, the participating users should see an indication that 'User X is typing a message'
• When a user is logging on, logging off, closing the browser screen or is otherwise leaving the session, should cause the screens being updated that the user has left the chat.
• Instead of using Laravels routes/web.php for endpoints, the application should use Laravel-Passport and be able to consume its API that is defined using routes/api.php
• Use Vuex state management library between the various components in a sane way.

Please document your code and update the README with instructions on how to get the app running.
