What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

Using the database driver for laravel notifications is great, but then you need a way to communicate to your users if they've not logged in for a while. With Digestif we'll handle the digest emails for you.

Installation instructions
-------------------------

[](#installation-instructions)

1. Install using `composer require codepotatoltd/digestif`
2. Ensure you have a notifications table in your database, otherwise run `php artisan notifications:table` and then `php artisan migrate`
3. Publish Digestif's config, notification and database migration using `php artisan vendor:publish` and select the DigestifServiceProvider option.
4. Run `php artisan migrate` to add the "digested\_at" column
5. Open the digestif.php config file and update the User model that your app uses.
6. Open your App/Console/Kernel.php and in the scheduler define how often you would like the digest process to run. E.g. `$schedule->command('digestif:pour')->hourly();` Alternatively, setup your own cron process to run `php artisan digestif:pour` when you would like emails to be sent.
7. Sit back and let Digestif handle the rest 🥃

Config options
--------------

[](#config-options)

Using the vendor:publish method you have full control of both the notification that we use behind the scenes. You can find this in your App/Notifications folder and you're welcome to tweak this to something that works better for you.

For example:

Config VariableDefaultDescriptionenabledtrue (boolean)Should Digestif run or not?typesimple (string)What variety of email should it send. Only one option at the momentuser\_modelUser::classWhat model is used for users that should receive the digest emailnotifications\_user\_id\_columnnotifiable\_id (string)What column on the notifications table stores the user\_idread\_columnread\_atWhat column from the notifications table stores whether the notification has been read or notRoadmap
