README

A flexible, event-driven Laravel package for managing and dispatching notifications.
It provides both synchronous and asynchronous (queued) notification handling, with support for notification pools, custom drivers, and a base Notification class for building reusable notification types.

✨ Features

• Synchronous & Asynchronous sending
  Send notifications immediately or queue them for background processing.

• Job-based async execution
  Uses Laravel’s NotificationJob to handle queued notifications.

• Notification pools
  Group multiple notification drivers together and process them in sequence.

• Contracts for extensibility
  Define your own notification drivers by implementing the provided interfaces.

• Abstract Notification base class
  Provides a reusable foundation for building custom notification types with user, notifiable models, and collections.

📦 Installation

Require the package in your Laravel app:

composer require zanko-khaledi/notifications:@dev

⚙️ Configuration

 php artisan vendor:publish --tag=notifications-config
 
 php artisan vendor:publish --tag=notifications-model
 
 php artisan migrate

🚀 Usage

1. Sending a notification

use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\NotificationService;
use App\Notifications\MyNotification; // implements NotificationInterface

$service = app(NotificationService::class);

$user = auth()->user();
$notifiables = User::query()->where("id", ">", 2)->get();

$notification = app(MyNotification::class);
$notification->setUser($user)->setTitle("New notification")
        ->setMessage("Hello World")->setNotifiable($notifiables)

// Send synchronously
$service->send($notification);

// Send asynchronously (queued)
$service->send($notification, true);

2. Using a pool of drivers

use App\Models\User;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Contracts\NotificationInterface;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\NotificationService;
use App\Notifications\Telegram;
use App\Notifications\System;

$user = auth()->user();
$notifiables = User::query()->where("id", ">", 2)->get();

$notificationService = app(NotificationService::class);

// notifications sent via queue & background processing with pool 

$notificationService->pool([
    Telegram::class,
    System::class
])->then(fn(NotificationInterface $notification) =>
    $notification->setUser($user)
                 ->setTitle("Hi")
                 ->setMessage("Hello World")
                 ->setNotifiable($notifiables)
);

This example demonstrates how to send notifications to multiple drivers (Telegram, System) using a pool.

3. Extending the abstract Notification class & implementing NotificationInterface

use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Notification;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Contracts\NotificationInterface;

class SystemNotification extends Notification implements NotificationInterface
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    
    public function setTitle(string $text = "") : static
    {
       $this->title = $text;
       return $this;
    }
    
    public function setMessage(string $text = "") : static
    {
        $this->message = $text;
        return $this;
    }
    
    public function send() : \ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Models\Notification
    {
       $model = parent::send();
       
       // you can send you're notification via broadcast channel to websocket server then any consumers could catch the notification
       broadcast(new NotificationEvent($model));
       return $model;
    }
}

4. Example Driver: Telegram

namespace App\Services\Notifications;

use Exception;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Contracts\NotificationInterface;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Models\Notification as ModelsNotification;
use ZankoKhaledi\Notifications\Notification;

class Telegram extends Notification implements NotificationInterface
{
    public function setTitle(string $text = ''): static
    {
        $this->title = $text;
        return $this;
    }

    public function setMessage(string $text = ''): static
    {
        $this->message = $text;
        return $this;
    }

    public function send(): ModelsNotification
    {
        $model = parent::send();

        $url = config('notifications.telegram_url', 'https://api.telegram.org/bot'.env('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN').'/sendMessage');

        $response = Http::post($url, [
            'chat_id' => $this->getUser()?->id,
            'text'    => $this->getMessage(),
        ]);

        if ($response->successful()) {
            return $model;
        }

        throw new Exception(sprintf('Telegram API error: %s', $response->body()));
    }
}
