I use database notifications, in notification code I have method toDatabase:
public function toDatabase($notifiable)
{
$user = \App\SomeUsers::where('id', $notifiable->id)->first();
return [
'message' => $message,
];
}
it returns data array which is being sent to database channel mentioned in via method of current notification:
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['database'];
}
Everything is as usual, BUT... The problem is I need id of notification in database here in current notification file so that I could broadcast message (from current notification file) to frontend which contains id of notificaion in db (so I could somehow identify it to mark as read). How to get it?
P.S. Moreover, database notification may be queueable, so... it seems that I can't get id...
P.P.S Another words I need broadcast message which contains ["id" => "id of just added corresponding database notification"].
<?php
namespace App\Notifications;
use App\Channels\SocketChannel;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Redis;
class MyCustomNotification extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
use Queueable;
/**
* Create a new notification instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($param)
{
$this->param = $param;
}
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
$channels = ['database'];
return $channels;
}
/**
* Get the mail representation of the notification.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
*/
public function toMail($notifiable)
{
}
/**
* Get the array representation of the notification.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function toDatabase($notifiable)
{
info("This is the current notification ID, it's generated right here before inserting to database");
info($this->id);
return [
'id' => **$this->id**,
'message' => 'Notification message',
];
}
}
$this->id solves the problem.

P.S. I want to draw attention to one fact. When I posted this question, I knew about $this->id, but I couldn't make it work. The reason was: when I dive deeper to my target code from the top level I made changes to code, but they didn't apply. The reason is queues. You need to restart laravel worker to apply settings as Laravel caches logic or you need temporarily delete those: implements ShouldQueue and use Queueable.
