channels.php

Broadcast::channel('lobby.{roomId}', function ($user, $roomId) {
    logger('Authenticated User:', ['user' => $user]);
    return ['id' => (string) $user->id, 'name' => $user->name];

js:

            let channel = `lobby.${roomId}`;
            console.log(`lobby.${roomId}`)

            Echo.join(channel)

ok well i can't tell if this is a laravel related bug anymore

# 
[2025-01-12 09:33:28] production.DEBUG: getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting:   
[2025-01-12 09:33:28] production.DEBUG: Primary Key Name: id

#

Auth::user()->getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting() follows this chain

getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting -> getAuthIdentifier -> getAuthIdentifierName -> getKeyName -> return $this->primaryKey;

#

but logger('Primary Key Name: ' . $user->getKeyName()); is returning id

# 
        logger('getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting: ' . $user->getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting());
        logger('getAuthIdentifier: ' . $user->getAuthIdentifier());
        logger('getAuthIdentifierName: ' . $user->getAuthIdentifierName());
        logger('getKeyName: ' . $user->getKeyName());```

returns

[2025-01-12 09:35:52] production.DEBUG: getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting:
[2025-01-12 09:35:52] production.DEBUG: getAuthIdentifier:
[2025-01-12 09:35:52] production.DEBUG: getAuthIdentifierName: handle
[2025-01-12 09:35:52] production.DEBUG: getKeyName: id ```

#

I don't think Laravel likes me using custom auth identifier names

#

ok well adding ```php
public function getAuthIdentifierForBroadcasting()
{
return 'id';
}
