User Notifications in Livewire with Megaphone
Published on by Paul Redmond
Megaphone is a Livewire UI for Laravel-based user notifications. It uses built-in Laravel notification features to allow you to add bell icons to your Livewire app:
use MBarlow\Megaphone\Types\Important;use App\Models\User; $notification = new Important( // Notification Title 'Expected Downtime!', // Notification Body 'We are expecting some downtime today at around 15:00 UTC for some planned maintenance. Read more on a blog post!', 'https://example.com/link', // Optional 'Read More...' // Optional); $user->notify($notification);
Using the above code, you can render notifications in your app using the provided Blade component:
<livewire:megaphone></livewire:megaphone>
This package has other neat features to manage notifications and send them en masse to users:
- Custom notification types
- Command to clear announcements
- Customizable list of notification types in the admin panel
- Admin panel to send notifications to all users
- Livewire component to render the admin panel
