README

Adds a notification panel to your Laravel Spark Kiosk, allowing you to send notifications to users.

Spark 4.x

Spark 4.0 replaced vue-resource for axios. The 2.1 release has been updated to use axios.

If you are upgrading to Spark 4.0 you will need to remove the spark-kiosk-notify.js file and republish the resources.

Please note the path was updated as well.

Vue 1.x

If you are using Vue 1.x please use the 1.0.5 release. The 2.x release is updated for Vue 2.x

Planned / Desired Features

• View notifications
• Update notifications
• Delete notifications
• Send Notification on User's tab
• Select Multiple Users
• Search for users instead of listing? Listing all could be an issue if you have many users.
• Switch to SparkForm?
