Notify (Laravel)

Notify alert boxes to the browser with sound and font awesome icons and give it a timeout to fly out. Works great to notify the user after a successful action (CRUD). Flash the information from Laravel or create multiple from javascript.

Documentation, Installation, and Usage Instructions

First, pull in the package through Composer.

"require": {
    "bpocallaghan/notify": "3.*"
}

OR

composer require bpocallaghan/notify

See the documentation for detailed installation and usage instructions.

Laravel <5.4 only (Laravel 5.5 has automatic package discovery)

Include the service provider within config\app.php.

'providers' => [
    Bpocallaghan\Notify\NotifyServiceProvider::class,
];

Add a facade alias or use the globel helper function notify().

'aliases' => [
    'Notify' => Bpocallaghan\Notify\Facades\Notify::class,
];

Usage

Within any view file (preferable your master layout).

@include('notify::notify')

Within any Controller.

public function index()
{
    // helper function - default to the 'info'
    notify('Title', 'Description');
    
    // return object first
    notify()->info('Title', 'Description');
    
    // via the facade
    Notify::info('Title', 'Description');
    
    return view('home');
}

The different 'levels' are:

• notify()->info('Title', 'Description');
• notify()->success('Title', 'Description');
• notify()->warning('Title', 'Description');
• notify()->error('Title', 'Description');

The different arguments:

• notify()->info('Title', 'Description', false); // without the icon
• notify()->info('Title', 'Description', 'smile-o'); // specify the icon class
• notify()->message($level = 'info', $title, $content, $icon, $timeout = 5000) // arguments
• notify()->message('info', 'Title', 'Description', 'smile-o'); // specify the type of level
• notify()->message('info', 'Title', 'Description', 'smile-o', 10000); // specify the timeout

If you need to modify the view partial, you can run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bpocallaghan\Notify\NotifyServiceProvider" --tag=view

The view partial can be found here resources\views\vendor\notify\notify.blade.

You need to publish the assets.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bpocallaghan\Notify\NotifyServiceProvider" --tag=public

Find the files here public\vendor\notify\. Move the mp3s to public\sounds\. If you use Laravel Elixir, move the css and js to your resource\assets and include them in your gulpfile.js, otherwise link to the individual files in your html header.
