# Web push notifications channel for Laravel
(opens new window) (opens new window) (opens new window) (opens new window)
This package makes it easy to send web push notifications with Laravel.
# Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require laravel-notification-channels/webpush
First add the NotificationChannels\WebPush\HasPushSubscriptions
trait to your User
model:
use NotificationChannels\WebPush\HasPushSubscriptions;
class User extends Model
{
use HasPushSubscriptions;
}
Next publish the migration with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NotificationChannels\WebPush\WebPushServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
Run the migrate command to create the necessary table:
php artisan migrate
You can also publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NotificationChannels\WebPush\WebPushServiceProvider" --tag="config"
Generate the VAPID keys (required for browser authentication) with:
php artisan webpush:vapid
This command will set VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY
and VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY
in your .env
file.
These keys must be safely stored and should not change.
If you still want support for Google Cloud Messaging (opens new window), set the GCM_KEY
and GCM_SENDER_ID
in your .env
file.
# Usage
Now you can use the channel in your via()
method inside the notification as well as send a web push notification:
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use NotificationChannels\WebPush\WebPushMessage;
use NotificationChannels\WebPush\WebPushChannel;
class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [WebPushChannel::class];
}
public function toWebPush($notifiable, $notification)
{
return (new WebPushMessage)
->title('Approved!')
->icon('/approved-icon.png')
->body('Your account was approved!')
->action('View account', 'view_account')
->options(['TTL' => 1000]);
// ->data(['id' => $notification->id])
// ->badge()
// ->dir()
// ->image()
// ->lang()
// ->renotify()
// ->requireInteraction()
// ->tag()
// ->vibrate()
}
}
You can find the available options here (opens new window).
# Save/Update Subscriptions
To save or update a subscription use the updatePushSubscription($endpoint, $key = null, $token = null, $contentEncoding = null)
method on your user:
$user = \App\User::find(1);
$user->updatePushSubscription($endpoint, $key, $token, $contentEncoding);
The $key
and $token
are optional and are used to encrypt your notifications. Only encrypted notifications can have a payload.
# Delete Subscriptions
To delete a subscription use the deletePushSubscription($endpoint)
method on your user:
$user = \App\User::find(1);
$user->deletePushSubscription($endpoint);
