How to implement user status output with Laravel echo and Pusher?

Question

Broadcast

Hello, how to implement user status tracking in a real-time application?
For example, if the user is online and subscribed to the channel, then the status is 'online', for example, otherwise 'offline', 'busy', etc.

To do this, you need to use Presence channels (see https://laravel.com/docs/master/broadcasting#prese... ).
Presence channels are the same private channels, but you can additionally get information about connected users in them, as well as track the events of "joining" and "disconnecting" users from the channel.
Example:

Echo.join(`chat.${roomId}`)
    .here((users) => {
        console.log(users); // Получаем список всех юзеров
    })
    .joining((user) => {
        console.log(user.name); //  Кто-то подключился к каналу, можно сделать его 'online'
    })
    .leaving((user) => {
        console.log(user.name); // Кто-то вышел из канала, можно сделать его 'offline'
    });
