Lucent Notifications

This package is responsible for creating and pushing notifications. Notifications can be either sent via mail, broadcasted using SSE and they are stored inside the database.

Creating Notifications

Every notification is an instance of LucentNotifications\Models\Notification model. There is a static function caled ::create which facilitates the creation of the notification.

Mail notifications

The static::create function accepts a Mailable class as its mail parameter. Lucent Notifications will instanciate the new Mailable class with the following parameters: # Notification $notification, # array $userFrom and # array $userTo so keep that in mind when defining your own Mailable class

Dispatching Notifications

Notifications are Dispatched using the LucentNotifications\Events\NotificationsDispatcher event in order to be dispatched. The dispatcher accepts an array of Notification objects and dispatches them to the default queue.
