Create Laravel App
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-email-notification --prefer-dist |
Setup Database Credentials

|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=db DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD= |
Generate Notification Migration
Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:
|
1 |
php artisan notifications:table |
The above command will generate a file at path migrations/create_notifications_table.php:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 |
<?php use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; class CreateNotificationsTable extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('notifications', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->uuid('id')->primary(); $table->string('type'); $table->morphs('notifiable'); $table->text('data'); $table->timestamp('read_at')->nullable(); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::dropIfExists('notifications'); } } |
Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:
|
1 |
php artisan migrate |
Create Notification Class
In this step we will create a notification class using following artisan command:
|
1 |
php artisan make:notification BillingNotification |
Put following code in app/Notifications/BillingNotification.php file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 |
<?php namespace App\Notifications; use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable; use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue; use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification; class BillingNotification extends Notification { use Queueable; private $billData; /** * Create a new notification instance. * * @return void */ public function __construct($billData) { $this->billData = $billData; } /** * Get the notification's delivery channels. * * @param mixed $notifiable * @return array */ public function via($notifiable) { return ['mail','database']; } /** * Get the mail representation of the notification. * * @param mixed $notifiable * @return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage */ public function toMail($notifiable) { return (new MailMessage) ->name($this->billData['name']) ->line($this->billData['body']) ->action($this->billData['text'], $this->billData['url']) ->line($this->billData['thanks']); } /** * Get the array representation of the notification. * * @param mixed $notifiable * @return array */ public function toArray($notifiable) { return [ 'bill_id' => $this->billData['bill_id'] ]; } } |
Create Controller
Now, lets create a controller named BillController using command given below –
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller BillController |
Put the following code in app/Http/Controllers/BillController.php
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Notification; use App\Models\User; use App\Notifications\BillingNotification; class BillController extends Controller { public function __construct() { $this->middleware('auth'); } public function index() { return view('welcome'); } public function sendNotification() { $data = User::first(); $billData = [ 'name' => '#007 Bill', 'body' => 'You have received a new bill.', 'thanks' => 'Thank you', 'text' => '$600', 'offer' => url('/'), 'bill_id' => 30061 ]; Notification::send($data, new BillingNotification($billData)); dd('Bill notification has been sent!'); } } |
Create Route
After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/web.php
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\BillController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which | contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great! | */ Route::get('/', [BillController::class, 'sendNotification']); |
