README

Laravel integration for the Pushy SDK including a notification channel.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

With Composer installed, you can then install the extension using the following commands:

$ php composer.phar require jlorente/laravel-pushy

or add

...
    "require": {
        "jlorente/laravel-pushy": "*"
    }

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

1. Register the ServiceProvider in your config/app.php service provider list.

config/app.php

return [
    //other stuff
    'providers' => [
        //other stuff
        \Jlorente\Laravel\Pushy\PushyServiceProvider::class,
    ];
];

1. Add the following facade to the $aliases section.

config/app.php

return [
    //other stuff
    'aliases' => [
        //other stuff
        'Pushy' => \Jlorente\Laravel\Pushy\Facades\Pushy::class,
    ];
];

1. Publish the package in order to copy the configuration file to the config folder.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Jlorente\\Laravel\\Pushy\\PushyServiceProvider

1. Set the api_key in the config/pushy.php file or use the predefined env variables.

config/pushy.php

return [
    'api_key' => 'YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY',
    //other configuration
];

or .env

//other configurations
PUSHY_API_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY>
PUSHY_NOTIFICATION_TTL=<YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUE>

Usage

You can use the facade alias Pushy to execute api calls. The authentication params will be automaticaly injected.

Pushy::api()->deviceInfo($token);

Notification Channel

A notification channel is included in this package and allows you to integrate the Pushy send notifications service with the Laravel notifications.

Formatting Notifications

If you want to send a notification to Pushy, you should define a toPushy method on the notification class. This method will receive a $notifiable entity and should return a Jlorente\Laravel\Pushy\Notifications\Messages\PushyMessage instance or an array with the payload to be sent on the notification:

/**
 * Get the PushyMessage that represents the notification.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return \Jlorente\Laravel\Pushy\Notifications\Messages\PushyMessage|array
 */
public function toPushy($notifiable)
{
    return (new PushyMessage)
                ->setData([
                    'eventName' => 'my_event_name'
                ])
                ->setTimeToLive(3600);
}

Once done, you must add the notification channel in the array of the via() method of the notification:

/**
 * Get the notification channels.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return array|string
 */
public function via($notifiable)
{
    return [PushyChannel::class];
}

You can find more info about Laravel notifications in this page.

Routing the Notifications

When sending notifications via Pushy channel, the notification system will automatically look for a pushy_token attribute on the notifiable entity. If you would like to customize the token of the device the notification is delivered to, define a routeNotificationForPushy method on the entity:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * Route notifications for the Pushy channel.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification  $notification
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForPushy($notification)
    {
        return $this->device_token;
    }
}
