Think of Notifier as an easy way to send notification messages to a client using AJAX in Laravel. These include:

• Notifier::notification
• Notifier::none
• Notifier::info
• Notifier::success
• Notifier::warning
• Notifier::danger
• Notifier::setOptions
• Notifier::getOptions
• Notifier::setNotifications
• Notifier::getNotifications
• Notifier::assets
• Notifier::getDisplayNotifications
• Notifier::displayNotifications
• Notifier::displayedDisplayableNotifications
• Notifier::displayedAllNotifications
• Notifier::expireNotifications
• Notifier::expireDisplayedNotifications
• Notifier::expireAllNotifications
• Notifier::fetchNotifications

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require cornford/notifier.

"require": {
	"cornford/notifier": "1.*"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'Cornford\Notifier\Providers\NotifierServiceProvider',

The next step is to introduce the facade. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the aliases array.

'Notifier'         => 'Cornford\Notifier\Facades\NotifierFacade',

We then need to introduce the configuration files, JavaScripts and Stylesheets, by running the following command.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cornford\\Notifier\\Providers\\NotifierServiceProvider"

That's it! You're all set to go.
