After the installation the user will be able to receive real time notification. Here are some examples: ``` // at the top of your class use NotificationTrait; //Controller's constructor public function __construct() { //subscribe to all the notification channels from database $this->subscribeToNotificationChannels(); // ... } //sending a notification $notification_channel = NotificationChannel::where('label', 'post-liked')->first(); if (!isset($notification_channel)) { return response()->json(['success' => false]); } $this->sendNotification($p_sender_id, $p_receiver_id, $p_notifiable_type, $p_notifiable_id, $notification_channel->id, $p_title, $p_description); ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install this package via composer using: ``` composer require ivfuture/laravel-event-notification ``` To register the package you have to add the service provider in your `config/app.php` file: ``` 'providers' => [ // ... Ivfuture\EventNotification\NotificationServiceProvider::class, ]; ``` Now you should publish the migration with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ivfuture\EventNotification\NotificationServiceProvider" ``` After the migration have been published you can create the tables by running the migrations: ``` php artisan migrate ``` Next, we have to install the npm packages: ``` npm install express socket.io ioredis redis --save ``` Settings -------- [](#settings) First of all, you have to edit your `.env` file to tell Laravel to use the correct `BROADCAST_DRIVER`. ``` BROADCAST_DRIVER=redis ``` If you are using an older version of Laravel you may skip the next step. You have to edit your `config/database.php` file and comment the line that is adding a prefix to redis: ``` 'redis' => [ 'options' => [ 'cluster' => env('REDIS_CLUSTER', 'redis'), //'prefix' => env('REDIS_PREFIX', Str::slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_database_'), ], // ... ], ``` Starting the servers -------------------- [](#starting-the-servers) Now all you have to do is start the servers. ``` node vendor/ivfuture/laravel-event-notification/src/socket.js redis-server --port 3001 ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) After you've installed the package and done all the settings it's time to integrate the notifications in your project. First, don't forget to import the trait at the top of your file. ``` use NotificationTrait; ``` ### Subscribe to channels notification [](#subscribe-to-channels-notification) In your Controller constructor you must subscribe to the channels. You can do this by using `NotificationTrait`'s function `subscribeToNotificationChannels()`. It will search in `notification_channel` table for channels and will automatically subscribe to them. ``` public function __construct() { $this->subscribeToNotificationChannels(); // ... } ``` ### Send a notification [](#send-a-notification) There is also a convenient function for sending a notification: ``` $notification_channel = NotificationChannel::where('label', 'post-liked')->first(); $this->sendNotification($p_sender_id, $p_receiver_id, $p_notifiable_type, $p_notifiable_id, $notification_channel->id, $p_title, $p_description); ``` This will save the notification into the database and will send an event with all its data. ### Get notifications from database [](#get-notifications-from-database) You can get the notifications from database: ``` Notification::latest()->where('receiver_id', auth()->user()->id )->get()->groupByDate(); ``` This will provide us with notifications grouped by time categories like: `today`, `this week`, `last week` or `older`. ### Receive the notification in view [](#receive-the-notification-in-view) To receive real time notifications you must follow this 3 steps: 1 - Import socket.io library ``` ``` 2 - Create a Socket object. ``` var socket = io('{{ env("APP_URL") }}:3000'); ``` Note: By default the server wil listen for port 3000. You can change that by editing the value of `PORT` in your `.env` file. 3 - Listen to the channel from which notification was sent. ``` socket.on("post-liked", function (data) { // ... }); ``` Note: If you have many channels, you must listen to all of them. Example: ``` socket.on("post-liked", function (data) { // ... }); socket.on("post-commented", function (data) { // ... }); ``` And finally, don't forget to check if the user is the receiver of notification. ``` if (data.receiver_id == "{{auth()->user()->id}}") { // ... } ``` ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 37% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
