In this article, we will see laravel firebase push notification, firebase notification through you can notify users that new email or other messages are available to sync. firebase push notification is a free open source and you can easily implement using your google account. 

Firebase messaging or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably send messages at no cost. FCM push notification is used for android, IOS as well as a web application.

So, let's see firebase notification in laravel 8, firebase messaging, firebase web push notification in laravel 8, how to set firebase push notification in laravel 8.

Here I will give an example, of firebase web push notification or firebase web push notification in laravel, Firebase provides a real-time database and backend as a service. The service provides application developers an API that allows application data to be synchronized across clients and stored on Firebase’s cloud.

Here we will see how to set firebase push notification in laravel step by step.

 

First of all, we will log in to Firebase Console and create a new project for laravel firebase push notification.

 

 

Now install a new application for this example using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Firebase_Example

 

Now create a login system using auth command in laravel 8, run the below command in your terminal.

composer require laravel/ui

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth  // For Generate Auth

npm install // TO Install NPM 

npm run dev

 

In this fourth step, we will add a new row "device_token" in the user's table as well as the model and after that, we will create a new migration. 

php artisan make:migration add_column_device_token

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AddColumnDeviceTokenToUsersTable extends Migration
{
  
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('device_token')->nullable();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            //
        });
    }
}

 

 

app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

  
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'device_token'
    ];

  
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

Now, run the below command to run the migration

php artisan migrate

 

Now we will add new routes to store token and send push notification in laravel. So, copy the below code in your routes/web.php file

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;


Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Auth::routes();   
Route::get('/home', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
Route::post('/save-push-notification-token', [HomeController::class, 'savePushNotificationToken'])->name('save-push-notification-token');
Route::post('/send-push-notification', [HomeController::class, 'sendPushNotification'])->name('send.push-notification');

 

 

Here, I have created HomeController and added savePushNotificationToken() and  sendPushNotification() function. in this controller you need to add a server API key, you need to add your server key. 

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;

class HomeController extends Controller
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }

    public function savePushNotificationToken(Request $request)
    {
        auth()->user()->update(['device_token'=>$request->token]);
        return response()->json(['token saved successfully.']);
    }
    
    public function sendPushNotification(Request $request)
    {
        $firebaseToken = User::whereNotNull('device_token')->pluck('device_token')->all();
          
        $SERVER_API_KEY = 'Enter_Your_Server_Key';
  
        $data = [
            "registration_ids" => $firebaseToken,
            "notification" => [
                "title" => $request->title,
                "body" => $request->body,  
            ]
        ];
        $dataString = json_encode($data);
    
        $headers = [
            'Authorization: key=' . $SERVER_API_KEY,
            'Content-Type: application/json',
        ];
    
        $ch = curl_init();
      
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataString);
               
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
  
        dd($response);
    }
}

 

 

 

 

Now, you need to update your home.blade.php file and add the below code.

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <center><h2>Laravel Firebase Push Notification - Techsolutionstuff</h2></center>
        <div class="col-md-8">            
             <center>
                <button id="btn-nft-enable" onclick="initFirebaseMessagingRegistration()" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs btn-flat">Allow for Notification</button>
            </center><br>
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>

                <div class="card-body">
                    @if (session('status'))
                        <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
                            {{ session('status') }}
                        </div>
                    @endif
                    <form action="{{ route('send.push-notification') }}" method="POST">

                        @csrf

                        <div class="form-group">

                            <label>Title</label>

                            <input type="text" class="form-control" name="title">

                        </div>

                        <div class="form-group">

                            <label>Body</label>

                            <textarea class="form-control" name="body"></textarea>

                          </div>

                        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send Notification</button>

                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

    apiKey: "XXXX",
    authDomain: "XXXX.firebaseapp.com",
    projectId: "XXXX",
    storageBucket: "XXXX.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "XXXX",
    databaseURL: "https://Your_Project_ID.firebaseio.com",
    appId: "XXXX"
  };
      
    firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
    const messaging = firebase.messaging();
  
    function initFirebaseMessagingRegistration() {
            messaging
            .requestPermission()
            .then(function () {
                return messaging.getToken({ vapidKey: 'Your_Public_Key' })
            })
            .then(function(token) {
                console.log(token);
   
                $.ajaxSetup({
                    headers: {
                        'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
                    }
                });
  
                $.ajax({
                    url: '{{ route("save-push-notification-token") }}',
                    type: 'POST',
                    data: {
                        token: token
                    },
                    dataType: 'JSON',
                    success: function (response) {
                        alert('Token saved successfully.');
                    },
                    error: function (err) {
                        console.log('User Chat Token Error'+ err);
                    },
                });
  
            }).catch(function (err) {
                console.log('User Chat Token Error'+ err);
            });
     }  
      
    messaging.onMessage(function(payload) {
        const noteTitle = payload.notification.title;
        const noteOptions = {
            body: payload.notification.body,
            icon: payload.notification.icon,
        };
        new Notification(noteTitle, noteOptions);
    });
   
</script>
@endsection

 

 

Now, we will create firebase-messaging-sw.js in the public folder and copy the below code.

importScripts('https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.3.0/firebase-app.js');
importScripts('https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.3.0/firebase-messaging.js');
   
	firebase.initializeApp({
        apiKey: "XXXX",
	    authDomain: "XXXX.firebaseapp.com",
	    databaseURL: "https://Your_Project_Id.firebaseio.com",
	    projectId: "XXXX",
	    storageBucket: "XXXX.appspot.com",
	    messagingSenderId: "XXXX",	    
	    appId: "XXXX"
    });

	const messaging = firebase.messaging();
	messaging.setBackgroundMessageHandler(function(payload) {
    console.log(
        "[firebase-messaging-sw.js] Received background message ",
        payload,
    );
        
    const notificationTitle = "Background Message Title";
    const notificationOptions = {
        body: "Background Message body.",
        icon: "/itwonders-web-logo.png",
    };
  
    return self.registration.showNotification(
        notificationTitle,
        notificationOptions,
    );
});

Output :
