$messages = Message::getConversation($user1Id, $user2Id);

$user1Id would be the currently authenticated user and $user2Id the other user.

$unread = Message::countUnread($userId);

Deleting Messages From A User

Message::delete($user1Id, $user2Id);

$user1Id would be the currently authenticated user and $user2Id the other user.

Deleting All Messages

Message::delete($userId);

Marking All Messages As Read

Message::markAllAsRead($userId);

Sending Messages

Message::send($user1Id, $user2Id, $message);
