Now let's see example of how to create notification example. We will check how to create notification. This is a short guide on create notification in laravel 8. Here you will learn how to create notification. Let's get started with how to create notification in laravel 8.

Here i will give you many example how to create notification using laravel 8.

Let's First, Use this command then download laravel project setup :

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

First, you need to setup. Use this command then setup laravel project :

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
DB_PORT=3306 
DB_DATABASE=here your database name 
DB_USERNAME=here database username
DB_PASSWORD=here database password 

Now, we need to create "notifications" table by using laravel 5 artisan command, so let's run bellow command:

php artisan notifications:table

php artisan migrate

Now, we will create AlertNotification.

php artisan make:notification AlertNotification

Let's create new folder as "Notifications" in app folder. You need to make following changes as like bellow class.

app/Notifications/AlertNotification.php

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class AlertNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;

    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['mail'];
    }

    /**
     * Get the mail representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
     */
    public function toMail($notifiable)
    {
        return (new MailMessage)                    
            ->name($this->offerData['name'])
            ->line($this->offerData['body'])
            ->action($this->offerData['offerText'], $this->offerData['offerUrl'])
            ->line($this->offerData['thanks']);
    }

    /**
     * Get the array representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray($notifiable)
    {
        return [
            'offer_id' => $this->offerData['offer_id']
        ];
    }
}

Now, we need to create routes for sending notification to one user. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('send', [HomeController::class,'sendNotification']);

In this step, we require to create new controller HomeController that will manage generatePDF method of route. So let's put bellow code.

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use Notification;
use App\Notifications\AlertNotification;
  
class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }
  
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }
  
    public function sendNotification()
    {
        $user = User::first();
  
        $details = [
            'greeting' => 'Hi Artisan',
            'body' => 'This is my first notification from MyWebtuts.com',
            'thanks' => 'Thank you for using MyWebtuts.com tuto!',
            'actionText' => 'View My Site',
            'actionURL' => url('/'),
            'order_id' => 101
        ];
  
        Notification::send($user, new AlertNotification($details));
   
        dd('done');
    }
  
}

Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command for quick run:

php artisan serve

Now you can open bellow URL on your browser:

http://localhost:8000/send

you can also send notification like this way:

$user->notify(new AlertNotification($details));

you can get sent notifications by following command:

dd($user->notifications);

It will help you...
