Firebase Cloud Messaging for Laravel

Larafirebase is a package by Gentrit Abazi that provides sending push notifications and custom messages with Firebase in Laravel applications. This package uses Firebase Cloud Messaging—a cross-platform messaging solution to send messages at no cost—to send notifications to users on the client-side.

Here is an example notification class that provides the toFirebase() method to send notifications via the custom firebase channel:

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Kutia\Larafirebase\Messages\FirebaseMessage;
 
class SendBirthdayReminder extends Notification
{
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['firebase'];
    }
 
    /**
     * Get the firebase representation of the notification.
     */
    public function toFirebase($notifiable)
    {
        $deviceTokens = [
            '{TOKEN_1}',
            '{TOKEN_2}'
        ];
 
        return (new FirebaseMessage)
            ->withTitle('Hey, ', $notifiable->first_name)
            ->withBody('Happy Birthday!')
            ->asNotification($deviceTokens);
            // OR ->asMessage($deviceTokens);
    }
}

You'll also need to write client code to receive these messages to use this package. Check out the project's javascript-client folder for an example of how to use this package on the client-side.
