I’m working on a project where I want to live display users’ points whenever the gain or lose points.

I have an api that sends event to the frontend:

    public function test(Request $request){
        $message = $request->message;
        $users = User::all()->where('company_id', $message);
        event(new MyEvent([$users]));
    }

Whenever the api is called, I recieve the following error:

Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastException: Pusher error: The data content of this event exceeds the allowed maximum (10240 bytes).

How can this be solved?

>Solution :

The simple answer is to reduce the payload size – Pusher has a size limit on the body of an event – https://pusher.com/docs/channels/library_auth_reference/rest-api/#post-event-trigger-an-event

They also list some strategies for reducing payload size, such as:

• sending multiple small events instead one one large event (chunking)

• using compression to reduce payload size

• sending a link the client that downloads the content instead of transmitting it via Channels.
