Installation

Require the package:

$ composer require andreshg112/pusher-api-notifications

Setting up the Pusher API Notifications service

This package requires pusher/pusher-http-laravel ^4.2, so after installing this, you have to configure it.

If your using Laravel ^5.5, don't worry about adding the service provider to your config/app.php file because this package uses Laravel Package Discovery. If don't, you have to add it:

'providers' => [
    // ...,
    Andreshg112\PusherApiNotifications\PusherApiServiceProvider::class,
],

Usage

This is a third-party Laravel Notification Package, so you should know how to use Notifications in Laravel before using this. Docs can be found here: https://laravel.com/docs/master/notifications.

In your notification, add the PusherApiChannel to the via() function:

use Andreshg112\PusherApiNotifications\PusherApiChannel;

public function via($notifiable)
{
    return [PusherApiChannel::class];
}

Then, create a method called toApiNotification() in your notification:

use Andreshg112\PusherApiNotifications\PusherApiMessage;

public function toApiNotification($notifiable)
{
    return (new PusherApiMessage)
        ->channels($channelName)
        ->event($eventName)
        ->data($data)
        ->socketId($socketId)
        ->debug($debug)
        ->alreadyEncoded($alreadyEncoded);

    // or

    return new PusherApiMessage($channelName, $eventName, $data, $socketId, $debug, $alreadyEncoded);
}

Available Message methods

• channels($channelName): array or string of channel name(s).
• event($eventName): the name of the event for the Pusher message.
• data($data): array, string or something that can be corverted to JSON. It's the body of the Pusher message.
• socketId($socketId): [optional] socketId of Pusher.
• debug($debug): [optional] boolean that tells Pusher if you're debugging.
• alreadyEncoded($alreadyEncoded): [optional] If the data is already encoded and you don't want Pusher to convert it, set this to true.

These parameters are the same received by Pusher::trigger() method.
