lumen/laravel and sockets

Hi Guys

I have seen many discussion and videos about pusher and socket io but none seem to cover my needs very well so I'll try and explain it best i can to see if anyone can help.

So what I have is a regular web page and as people fill in forms and do other tasks I have some JS that is capturing those user actions and sending the data to the lumen server, I then want the lumen app to save the relevant data for that user in the database then just return a simple bool true or false to the client if the data was successfully saved.

The problem is i have not seen any examples of this, it just seems the examples work from a laravel based event that is pushed to client, I need to know how to setup and then get data into lumen or laravel. I could easily switch from lumen to laravel 5.1 if needed.

This is probably a simple question but.... can anyone help?
