README

This package makes it easy to send database notifications with Laravel 6 and up from third-party packages. Those often allow you to send mail or slack notifications, but with this package you can also send them to the notification table. For others, simply use Laravel's own notifications.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require waarborg/databasenotifications

Usage

Now you can use the channel in your via() method inside the notification:

use waarborg\DatabaseNotifications\DatabaseChannel;
use waarborg\DatabaseNotifications\DatabaseMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class BackupHasFailed extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [DatabaseChannel::class];
    }

    public function toDatabase($notifiable)
    {
        return DatabaseMessage::create()
                    ->user(1)
                    ->data([
                        'event' => 'Backup failed',
                    	'description' => 'Daily backup of Your App has failed: reason, disk S3 is unreachable.',
                    	'...' => '...'
                    ]);
    }
}
