Slim 3 framework and Twig with Ajax GET and POST for Home Page Chat problem?

this is my first time asking a question on this site. if mistake first of all sorry about it.

I am making an online store using slim 3 framework. I need a make live chat using Ajax for my slim 3 project. But I could not do that. please tell me how to do that?

routes.php

$app->get(‘/’,[‘Cart\Controllers\HomeController’,‘index’])->setName(‘home’);

$app->post(‘/’,[‘Cart\Controllers\HomeController’,‘postindex’])->setName(‘posthome’);

HomeController.php

<?php

namespace Cart\Controllers;

use Slim\Views\Twig;
use Slim\Router;
use Cart\Models\Send_msg;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request ;

public function postindex(Request $request, Response $response, Router $router, Send_msg $send_msg) 

{
    $this->router = $router;

    Send_msg::Create([
        'send_msg' => $request->getParam('send_msg'), 
        'user_id' => $_SESSION['user']
        ]);    

    $send_msg = $send_msg->where('user_id', $_SESSION['user'])->get()->toArray();

    return $response->withRedirect($this->router->pathFor('home'));

}


public function index(Request $request, Response $response, Twig $view, Send_msg $send_msg)
    {
        $this->router = $router;
        $send_msg = $send_msg->where('user_id', $_SESSION['user'])->get()->toArray();

        return $view->render($response, 'home.twig', [ 
            'send_msg' => $send_msg, 
        ]);
    }

this code worked when refresh page but I need without refresh page.Thank you very much

To be quite frank php ratchet websocket is just one of my dreams solution for this kind of issues. Unfortunately odan, despite his huge devotion for Slim community hasn’t taken care for this so far :frowning: .

Thank you very much :blush:

Take a look at this:
Slim 4 Websocket integration

perhaps you can adapt this solution for your needs.
