ranger/notification
===================

[](#rangernotification)

Realtime user-to-user notifications for Laravel. Eloquent-backed, broadcast over private channels via Laravel's own broadcasting system (Reverb, Pusher, Ably — whatever your app uses), with a drop-in bell dropdown view.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 11 or 12
- (Optional, for realtime) a configured broadcast driver and Laravel Echo

> **Note for Laravel 11 apps:** Laravel 11 is past its security-fix window and has open security advisories, so Composer 2.10+ refuses to install it by default. If your app is still on Laravel 11 you have already dealt with this, but for a fresh install you may need: `composer config policy.advisories.block false`

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ranger/notification
php artisan migrate
```

The service provider is auto-discovered. The migration creates a `ranger_notifications` table.

Optionally publish the config, views, or migration:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=notification-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=notification-views
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=notification-migrations
```

Sending notifications
---------------------

[](#sending-notifications)

From anywhere in your app (controller, job, listener):

```
use Ranger\Notification\Notifier;

app(Notifier::class)->send(
    fromUserId: auth()->id(),   // or null for system notifications
    toUserIds: [3, 7, 12],      // one id or an array
    message: 'A new order was placed.'
);
```

Each recipient gets their own row and, when broadcasting is enabled, a `notification.created` event on their private channel `notifications.{userId}`. Channel authorization is registered by the package: users can only subscribe to their own channel.

HTTP endpoints
--------------

[](#http-endpoints)

Registered automatically under the configurable prefix (default `/notifications`) behind `['web', 'auth']` middleware:

MethodURINameReturnsGET/notificationsnotifications.index`{ unread_count, notifications:  }`POST/notifications/{id}/readnotifications.read`{ status: "ok" }` (404 if not yours)POST/notifications/read-allnotifications.read-all`{ status: "ok" }`There is intentionally no HTTP endpoint for *creating* notifications — send them from server-side code with `Notifier::send()`.

Bell dropdown view
------------------

[](#bell-dropdown-view)

Add to any Blade layout used by authenticated pages:

```
@include('notification::bell')
```

Requirements in your layout:

- `` in ``
- (Optional) Laravel Echo configured on `window.Echo` for realtime badge updates; without it the bell still works and refreshes when opened.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

`config/notification.php`:

```
return [
    'route' => [
        'prefix' => 'notifications',
        'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'],
    ],
    'broadcast' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'channel_prefix' => 'notifications',
    ],
];
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
