This package includes: - a sidebar item, with an optional notification count for the current user (refreshed with AJAX every second) - an interface that shows the notifications in the database for the current user, with their (optional) action buttons; The only thing left for you to do is to actually trigger notifications for your admins, wherever you want, using the standard Laravel syntax (example below). [![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pestopancake/laravel-backpack-database-notifications/main/preview.gif)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pestopancake/laravel-backpack-database-notifications/main/preview.gif) Prerequisites ------------- [](#prerequisites) - Have Laravel Backpack installed [backpack/crud](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD) v4.0.\* | 4.1.\* - Follow the steps for laravel's [database notifications prerequisites](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/notifications#database-notifications), e.g: ``` php artisan notifications:table php artisan migrate ``` - Have Permission Manager installed [Laravel-Backpack/PermissionManager](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PermissionManager) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Backpack v5 / v6 [](#backpack-v5--v6) ``` composer require pestopancake/laravel-backpack-database-notifications ``` ### Backpack v4 [](#backpack-v4) ``` composer require pestopancake/laravel-backpack-database-notifications:1.0.6 ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Publish the config file: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Pestopancake\\LaravelBackpackNotifications\\LaravelBackpackNotificationsServiceProvider" --tag=config ``` ### Show in side menu [](#show-in-side-menu) Add a menu item to your 'resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar\_content.blade.php' by running: ``` php artisan backpack:add-menu-content "@include('backpack-database-notifications::sidebarMenuItem')" ``` ### Admin view [](#admin-view) With the [Permission Manager](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PermissionManager) package installed you can assign the permission 'notifications admin' to users for them to see admin functionality. To change the permission name edit 'admin\_permission\_name' in the databasenotifications config file. Currently users with the admin permission can see/dismiss notifications for all users. ### Create a notification [](#create-a-notification) #### Use the included generic notification [](#use-the-included-generic-notification) ``` use Pestopancake\LaravelBackpackNotifications\Notifications\DatabaseNotification; $user = backpack_user(); $user->notify(new DatabaseNotification( $type = 'info', // info / success / warning / error $message = 'Test Notification', $messageLong = 'This is a longer message for the test notification '.rand(1, 99999), // optional $href = '/some-custom-url', // optional, e.g. backpack_url('/example') $hrefText = 'Go to custom URL' // optional )); ``` #### Use in any other notification [](#use-in-any-other-notification) The toArray method of the notification should be in this format: ``` return [ 'type' => "info", // info / success / warning / error 'message' => "", 'message_long' => "", // optional 'action_href' => "", // optional, e.g. backpack_url('/example') 'action_text' => "", // optional ]; ``` The type will affect the colour of the toast notification (if toasts are enabled in the config) Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) ### Notification not created [](#notification-not-created) - Make sure the model you are notifying matches the model defined in your backpack config at backpack.base.user\_model\_fqn (found in config/backpack/base.php) Change log ---------- [](#change-log) See the [changelog](/pestopancake/laravel-backpack-database-notifications/blob/main/changelog.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
