Notification (Laravel 4)
Quick Start
Required Setup
Require tashkar18\notification with the composer command, (*1)
$ composer require tashkar18/notification ~0.2
In your config/app.php file,, (*2)
add Tashkar18\Notification\NotificationServiceProvider to the end of the providers array, (*3)
'providers' => array(
'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
...
'Tashkar18\Notification\NotificationServiceProvider',
),
Now generate the configuration file, (*4)
$ php artisan config:publish tashkar18/notification
Then migrate the notifications table, (*5)
$ php artisan migrate --package="tashkar18/notification"
Setup
In any of your Eloquent models, implement the NotificationInterface and use the NotificationTrait., (*6)
use Tashkar18\Notification\NotificationInterface;
use Tashkar18\Notification\NotificationTrait;
class Comment extends Eloquent implements NotificationInterface
{
use NotificationTrait;
Then implement these methods in your model., (*7)
/**
* This determines the recipient id of the event.
* For example, if a user comments on a post, the recipient of the
* notification would be the post's author.
* @return {int}
*/
public function getNotificationRecipient()
{
return $this->post->user_id;
}
/**
* This determines the sender id of the event.
* For example, if a user comments on a post, the sender of the
* notification would be the comment's author. (This will typically
* be user_id, but you might also use a different attribute for the user_id like author_id);
* @return {int}
*/
public function getNotificationSender()
{
return $this->user_id;
}
You can add the NoterTrait to the your User model to setup the user hasMany relationship, (*8)
use Tashkar18\Notification\NoterTrait;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
use UserTrait, RemindableTrait, NoterTrait;
You will then be able to access user notifications, (*9)
return $user->notifications;
Configuration
Create your Notification-specific views folder, and adjust the packages/tashkar18/notification/config.php to match, (*10)
return array(
'view' => 'notifications'
);
Create your ViewPresenter for your Eloquent model.
Your view presenter file is simply a view file that will present your notification in human readable text., (*11)
For example, a Comment model would have a view file in views\notifications\comment.blade.php
The comment object will automatically be passed into that view and can be access with the variable $comment., (*12)
// views/notifications/comment.blade.php
{{{ ucfirst($comment->user->username) }}} commented on your post.
