Installation

Install this package with Composer:

composer require techinasia/laravel-stream-notification-channel-notification-channel

Register the service provider in your config/app.php:

NotificationChannels\GetStream\StreamServiceProvider::class

Setting up Stream

This notification channel uses techinasia/laravel-stream to send notifications to Stream.

Publish all the vendor assets:

php artisan vendor:publish

This will create a file called stream.php in the config folder. Create an application via Stream's admin interface and copy the API key and secret to the configuration file.

You can add more applications by adding more key/secret pairs to the configuration file:

'applications' => [
    'main' => [
        'key' => 'key1',
        'secret' => 'secret1',
    ],
    'foo' => [
        'key' => 'foo',
        'secret' => 'bar',
    ],
],

Usage

Send notifications via Stream in your notification:

use NotificationChannels\GetStream\StreamChannel;
use NotificationChannels\GetStream\StreamMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class TestNotification extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [StreamChannel::class];
    }

    public function toStream($notifiable)
    {
        return (new StreamMessage())
            ->actor(1)
            ->verb('like')
            ->object(3)
            ->foreignId('post:42');
    }
}

You need to specify the ID and type of the notifiable by defining a routeNotificationForStream method on the entity:

/**
 * Notification routing information for Stream.
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function routeNotificationForStream()
{
    return [
        'type' => 'user',
        'id' => $this->id,
    ];
}

Available Message methods

• application(string $application): Sets the application to be used to send the notification.

You can set any attributes of the payload by calling the name of the attribute in camel case with the value as the parameter:

return (new StreamMessage())
    ->actor(1)
    ->verb('like')
    ->object(3);
