Manage FCM notifications with ease using Laravel FCM Channel.
This package has been built to make sending FCM messages easier.
There is also a Flutter package you can use to save time for mobile development.
Overview:
- Add multiple (FCM) devices to a model in Laravel
- API Routes for adding new devices to a model
- Send FCM notifications using the new "
fcm_channel
" in your Laravel Notification - Flutter mobile package to help speed up your development with notifications
First, install the package via composer:
composer require nylo/laravel-fcm-channel
The package will automatically register itself.
Run the install
command.
php artisan laravelfcm:install
This will add a (laravelfcm.php
) config file
ServiceProvider to your app.php: App\Providers\FcmAppServiceProvider::class
Then, ask if you want to run the migrations.
Here are the tables it will migrate:
- fcm_devices
Add your Google Service Account to config/firebase_service_account_json
.
<?php
return '{
"type": "service_account",
"project_id": "123456789-me908",
"private_key_id": "123456789",
"private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\123456789\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
"client_email": "firebase-adminsdk-9p9z7@123456789-me908.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"client_id": "123456789",
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
"client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/firebase-adminsdk-9p9z7%123456789-me908.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"universe_domain": "googleapis.com"
}';
You can download your Google Service Account in your Firebase Project Settings > Service Accounts > Manage service account permissions > "Actions (three dots) - Manage keys" > Add Key > Create New Key.
Then, paste the JSON into the firebase_service_account_json
file like in the above example.
Note: It's best to keep the key values in a
.env
file. Don't commit the JSON file to your repository.
You can configure this package in config/laravelfcm.php
.
Add the HasFcmDevices
trait to your User Model.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Nylo\LaravelFCM\Traits\HasFcmDevices; // Use HasFcmDevices trait
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, HasFcmDevices; // Add it to your model
...
}
This package uses laravel/sanctum
as the default middleware for your model.
However, if you want authenticate using a different middleware, you can update the middleware
key in your config/laravelfcm.php file.
This package adds API endpoints to your router to allow your application to store devices.
Postman collection example
Store a device
The default endpoint: /api/fcm/device
Method: PUT
Authorization: "Bearer {{Sanctum Token}}"
Add this header key: X-DMeta
Value:
{
"uuid": "12992", // required, a uuid which should be from the device.
"model": "iPhone", // optional
"version":" 12", // optional
"display_name": "Tim's iPhone", // optional
"platform": "IOS" // optional
}
Payload body:
{
"is_active": 1, // optional, use this key to define if a device is active or not
"fcm_token": "kjnsdmnsdc0sdco23" // optional, when you have an FCM token for the device, use this key in the payload
}
This will add a new FCM device for a User.
If you provide a fcm_token
in the payload then the user will be able to receive push notifications.
To send a notification using the FCMChannel, first create a Notification in your Laravel project.
php artisan make:notification ParcelDispatchedNotification
After creating your notification, add a fcm_channel
to the array below.
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [
'mail',
'fcm_channel', // add this
];
}
Then, add the following snippet to your notification class.
/**
* Get the fcm representation of the notification.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return mixed
*/
public function toFcm($notifiable)
{
return (new FcmMessage)
->title('Parcel Dispatched')
->body('Your parcel has been dispatched');
// or like this
return [
'title' => config('app.name'), // Title of the notification
'body' => $title, // Body of the notification
];
}
$user->notify(new ParcelDispatchedNotification($order));
This will send a notification to the user's devices.
In some scenarios, you may only want to notify a user based on a condition.
In your User
model class, add the following snippet.
<?php
...
class User {
use HasFcmDevices;
/**
* Determines if the devices can be notified.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function canSendNotification($notification) : bool
{
// $notification - Will return the type of Notification you are trying to send.
// E.g. $user->notify(new NewsLetterNotification($order));
// $notification = 'App\Notifications\NewsLetterNotification';
//
// The canSendNotification method will be called before dispatching the fcm notification.
// If you return True, it will send. If you return False, it will not send.
if ($notification == 'App\Notifications\NewsLetterNotification') {
return ($this->receives_news_letters == true); // example condition
}
return true;
}
}
By default, the
canSendNotification
method will returntrue
.
Here are the attributes you can assign to a FcmMessage
.
$notification = new FcmMessage();
$notification->title('My App'); // Title of the notification
$notification->body('Hello, World!'); // Body of the notification
$notification->image('https://example.com/image.jpg'); // Image URL
$notification->badge(1); // Badge number
$notification->sound('custom_sound'); // Sound to play (by default it will play the 'default' sound)
$notification->data(['key' => 'value']); // Custom data
$notification->withoutDefaultSound(); // Disable the default sound
$notification->priorityHighest(); // Set the priority to 'high'
$notification->priorityLowest(); // Set the priority to 'low'
When your model is using the HasFcmDevices
trait you can call the following methods.
<?php
$user = User::first();
$user->fcmDevices;// Returns all the FCM Devices that the user owns
// send notification
$fcmDevice = $user->fcmDevices->first();
$message = (new FcmMessage)
->title('My App')
->body('Hello, World!');
$fcmDevice->sendFcmMessage($message);
// or like this
$fcmDevice->sendFcmMessage([
'title' => 'My App',
'body' => 'Hello, World!'
]);
