# Installation

You can install the package via Composer (opens new window):

$ composer require laravel-notification-channels/bearychat

Once the package is installed, you need to register the service provider by adding the following to the providers array in config/app.php:

ElfSundae\BearyChat\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,

This package is based on laravel-bearychat (opens new window), you may publish the config file if you have not done yet:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=bearychat

# Setting up the BearyChat service

You may create an Incoming Robot in your BearyChat (opens new window) team account, and read the payload format (opens new window).

# Usage

# Basic Usage

You can now use the channel in the via() method inside the Notification class.

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use NotificationChannels\BearyChat\BearyChatChannel;
use ElfSundae\BearyChat\Message;

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

    public function toBearyChat($notifiable)
    {
        return (new Message)
            ->text('foo')
            ->add('bar');
    }
}

You can also use a BearyChat Client to create the message for notification, and the client's message defaults will be used for creating this new Message instance.

public function toBearyChat($notifiable)
{
    return bearychat('admin')->text('New VIP has been paid!');
}

For more details about BearyChat Client and Message, please read the documentation (opens new window) of the BearyChat PHP package.

For more details about BearyChat facade or bearychat() helper function, please read the documentation (opens new window) of the original Laravel package.

# Routing Notifications

To route BearyChat notifications to the proper Robot, define a routeNotificationForBearyChat method on your notifiable entity.

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    public function routeNotificationForBearyChat()
    {
        return 'https://hook.bearychat.com/...';
    }
}

You can also route the user, channel or configured client in the routeNotificationForBearyChat method.

'@Elf' will route the notification to user "Elf".
'#iOS-Dev' will route the notification to channel "iOS-Dev".
'http://webhook/url' will route the notification to an Incoming Robot.
'Server' will route the notification via a client which named "Server" in your config file config/bearychat.php, and the message defaults of this client will be applied to the outgoing notification message.
