Manage mobile devices and tokens easily with Laravel

Easily manage devices and device tokens for your users.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sfolador/devices

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="devices-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
     'allow_device_reassign' => false,
];

if you set allow_device_reassign to true, it will be possible to register a device for a user and then assign it to another user. This happens usually in mobile applications with multi-accounts on the same device.

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="devices-migrations"
php artisan migrate

the migration will create the Devices table and its columns will be:

• id - the device id
• notifiable_id - the "user" id
• notifiable_type - the "user" type
• name - the device name
• type - the device type (mobile, web)
• platform - the device platform (ios, android, web)
• token - the device token
• created_at - the device creation date
• updated_at - the device update date

Usage

It's possible to use the HasDevices trait in your User model:

use Sfolador\Devices\Models\Concerns\HasDevices;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasDevices;
}

At this point is possible to retrieve the devices of a user:

$user = User::find(1);
$user->devices;

To register a new Device, for example from a mobile app, you can use the provided route POST /api/devices/attach:

Route::post('/devices/attach', [DeviceController::class, 'attach']);

Device parameters

The register a Device you need a request with these parameters:

$rules = [
    'platform' => ['required', new Enum(DevicePlatform::class)],
    'type' => ['required', new Enum(DeviceType::class)],
    'token' => 'required|string',
];

DevicePlatform is an Enum that can have these values: android, ios, web. DeviceType is an Enum that can have these values: mobile, web

Firebase notifications

If needed, this package can send push notifications with Firebase through the use of : kutia-software-company/larafirebase (https://github.com/kutia-software-company/larafirebase) , already present in the composer.json.

You need to publish the configuration of kutia-software-company/larafirebase by launching:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Kutia\Larafirebase\Providers\LarafirebaseServiceProvider" 

you will find the larafirebase.php file in the config folder. The file looks like this:

return [

    'authentication_key' => null

];

Please remind that you need to obtain the authentication_key from Firebase

Notifiable configuration

You need to setup your notifiable class by adding the RouteNotifications trait:

class User extends Model
{
    use HasDevices;
    use RoutesNotifications;

...

You are now ready to send a notification to the user:

$user = User::find(1);
$user->notify(new \Sfolador\Devices\Notifications\FirebasePushNotification('title','message'));

If you need more freedom on the notification fields you can always create another PushNotification class or extend \Sfolador\Devices\Notifications\FirebasePushNotification.
