Mynabird

Laravel/Nova package for Facebook-style alerts.

Currently supports Pusher for real-time notification when a new alert is received (and dynamic update of the unread counter).

Installation

The package can be installed through Composer.

composer require montopolis/mynabird

Make sure all vendor files are published and migrations run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Montopolis\Mynabird\MynabirdServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate

Assuming you're using Nova, you'll also need to publish Nova's vendor templates (if you haven't already) so you can insert the Mynabird partials:

php artisan nova:publish

... and then add these two lines to the Nova layout template:

// in file: resources/views/vendor/nova/layout.blade.php

  ...

  <dropdown class="ml-auto h-9 flex items-center dropdown-right">
      @include('nova::partials.user')
  </dropdown>

  @include('mynabird::alert-feed') <!-- AND THIS LINE HERE -->

  ...

    <!-- Build Nova Instance -->
    <script>
        window.Nova = new CreateNova(config)
    </script>

    <!-- Alerts -->
    @include('mynabird::javascript') <!-- INCLUDE THIS LINE HERE -->

   ...

If you wish to use real-time notifications, make sure Pusher is configured via config/broadcasting.php and/or the .env file; for example:

# Set the broadcast driver to send events to Pusher:
BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher

# Add the pusher config, which you can find/configure via the dashboard: https://dashboard.pusher.com
PUSHER_APP_ID=aaabbbcccdddeeefffgg
PUSHER_APP_KEY=hhhiiijjjkkklllmmmnn
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=1000001
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=mt1

Alternatively if you wish to disable real-time notifications you may do so via the Mynabird configuration:

<?php
// in config/mynabird.php
return [
    'should_broadcast' => false,
];

If broadcasting is disabled users will need to refresh to see new alerts.

Usage

You can trigger alerts using the AlertRepository which (assuming MynabirdServiceProvider has been loaded) can be resolved through the Laravel IoC container:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Console;

use Montopolis\Mynabird\DataObjects\Alert;
use Montopolis\Mynabird\Interfaces\AlertsRepository;

class BroadcastAlert extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'app:broadcast-alert';
    protected $description = 'Send an alert to all users.';

    protected $alertsRepository;

    public function __construct(AlertsRepository $alertsRepository)
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->alertsRepository = $alertsRepository;
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        // Create an alert object: Montopolis\Mynabird\DataObjects\Alert
        $alert = new Alert(
            null,
            $title,
            $body,
            $url,
            $level,
            null, // set to user ID for individual notification
            true // set to `true` for broadcast message
        );

        // Send the alert:
        $this->alertsRepository->store($alert);
    }
}
