Notification
============

[](#notification)

---

Provides an interface for adding and retrieving database stored notifications.

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Just place require new package for your laravel installation via composer.json

```
"c4studio/notification": "1.0.*"

```

Then simply `composer update`

### Registering to use it with laravel

[](#registering-to-use-it-with-laravel)

Add following lines to `app/config/app.php`

ServiceProvider array

```
C4studio\Notification\NotificationServiceProvider::class,
```

Alias array

```
'Notification' => C4studio\Notification\Facades\Notification::class,
```

### Publishing migrations (Laravel 5.2 and lower only)

[](#publishing-migrations-laravel-52-and-lower-only)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="C4studio\Notification\NotificationServiceProvider" --tag=migrations

```

### Running migrations

[](#running-migrations)

Notification uses a database table for storage, so you'll need to run the migrations

```
php artisan migrate

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Select models which can receive notifications

[](#select-models-which-can-receive-notifications)

You must apply the HasNotifications trait to all models that will be able to receive notifications

```
class User extends Model
{
    use HasNotifications;

    ...
}
```

### Add notification using facade

[](#add-notification-using-facade)

You can add notifications using the notify() method, which take two parameters: the notification message and the recipient(s). The second parameter accepts either a model or an array/collection of models

```
Notification::notify('Notification message', Auth::user());
Notification::notify('Notification message', \App\User::all());
```

If no recipient is set, the notification will be treated as a system message, and will be attached to every user model

```
Notification::notify('Notification message');
```

### Add notification using helper function

[](#add-notification-using-helper-function)

```
notify('Message', Auth::user());
notify('Message');
```

### Retrieving notifications for a model

[](#retrieving-notifications-for-a-model)

To get notifications for a model, use the notifications relationship

```
Auth::user()->notifications;
Auth::user()->notifications()->first();
```

You can also easily get the system notifications

```
Auth::user()->notifications_system;
Auth::user()->notifications_system()->first();
```

### Marking notification as read/unread

[](#marking-notification-as-readunread)

You can mark notification as read/unread by using the markRead() and markUnread() methods. But accept the user model or user ID as a parameter. If ommitted, message will be marked for current authenticated user

```
$notification::markRead();
$notification::markRead(\App\User::first());
$notification::markUnread(1);
```

### Check if notification has been read by current user

[](#check-if-notification-has-been-read-by-current-user)

You can check if a notification has been read by the currently authenticated user, by accessing the read attribute.

```
echo $notification::read ? 'It is read' : 'It is not read';
```

### Get recipients of a notification

[](#get-recipients-of-a-notification)

You can also get all the recipients of a notification

```
$notification::recipients;
$notification::recipients->take(2)->get();
```

### Complex queries

[](#complex-queries)

For more complex queries, you can return a Builder object by using query(). Easy, right?

```
Notification::query()->orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')->take(2)->get();
```
