Firebase Cloud Messaging for Laravel

 

Larafirebase is a package by Gentrit Abazi that provides sending push notifications and custom messages with Firebase in Laravel applications. This package uses Firebase Cloud Messaging—a cross-platform messaging solution to send messages at no cost—to send notifications to users on the client-side.

Here is an example notification class that provides the toFirebase() method to send notifications via the custom firebase channel:

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

use Kutia\Larafirebase\Messages\FirebaseMessage;

class SendBirthdayReminder extends Notification

{

    /**

     * Get the notification's delivery channels.

     */

    public function via($notifiable)

    {

        return ['firebase'];

    }

    /**

     * Get the firebase representation of the notification.

     */

    public function toFirebase($notifiable)

    {

        $deviceTokens = [

            '{TOKEN_1}',

            '{TOKEN_2}'

        ];

        return (new FirebaseMessage)

            ->withTitle('Hey, ', $notifiable->first_name)

            ->withBody('Happy Birthday!')

            ->asNotification($deviceTokens);

            // OR ->asMessage($deviceTokens);

    }

}

You'll also need to write client code to receive these messages to use this package. Check out the project's javascript-client folder for an example of how to use this package on the client-side.
