Laravel notification with one notification class - php

Question

In my web app I have added the notification functionalities.
There are 3 notification class.
App/Notifications/
NotifWhenLiked.php
NotifyWhenStoryCommented.php
NotifyWhenAuthorFollowed.php
I want to make these task with one single Notification class. Is there any easiest way to solve this ?
Here is the code of one class
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use App\Http\Resources\Users;
use App\Model\User;
use App\Model\Story;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class NotifyWhenLiked extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
use Queueable;
public $user;
public $story;
/**
* Create a new notification instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(Story $story, User $user)
{
$this->user = $user;
$this->story = $story;
}
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['database','broadcast'];
}
/**
* Get the mail representation of the notification.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
*/
public function toDatabase($notifiable)
{
return [
'notification' => "<strong>".$this->user->name."</strong>". ' liked your story '. "<strong>".$this->story->title."</strong>",
'Storylink' => '/story/'.$this->story->url_key,
'Userlink' => '/a/'.$this->user->profile->username
];
}
/**
* Get the array representation of the notification.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return array
*/
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
return [
'notification' => $this->user->name. ' liked your story '. "<strong>".$this->story->title."</strong>",
'username' => $this->user->profile->username,
];
}
}

Answer 1

You might try to store the different notification types into an array e.g. a config file.
return [
'when_liked' => [
'notification_text' => '%s liked your story %s',
'story_link' => '/story/%s'
],
'when_commented' => [
'notification_text' => '%s commented on your story %s',
'story_link' => '/story/%s'
]
]
You can make a general Notification Class, which takes care about handling the notification stuff.
$whenLikedNotification = new YourCustomNotificationClass('when_liked');
$whenLikedNotification->trigger();
In the Constructor you can handle the config stuff.

I think you can use a event to do it
Create a event and call all listener(WhenLiked, WhenStoryCommented, WhenAuthorFollowed) that is related with event
