I've been trying to receive notifications in real-time, such as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Rdkv-DLwk&t=1081s by using Pusher - The app is connected to pusher, I receive the notifications events in real-time with Pusher over the console, but I cannot update the notifications count in real-time, on the frontend(see my picture below the code), the new notification is not being shown on the frontend in real-time, only after the page is reloaded. I have a user, creating a patient for another user and when the patient is created, the user receives a notification. The only problem is, it is not being shown in real-time in the frontend. I use Laravel, Pusher, Laravel Echo and Vue.js for it, I believe the problem is in my Notification.vue file, after the component is mounted, please see it:
<template>
<div id="notification">
<li class="dropdown" @click="markNotificationAsRead">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-globe"></span> Notifications <span
class="badge alert-danger">{{unreadNotifications.length}}</span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>
<notification-item v-for="unread in unreadNotifications" :unread="unread" :key="unread.id"></notification-item>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import $ from 'jquery'
import axios from 'axios'
import NotificationItem from './NotificationItem.vue';
export default {
props: ['unreads', 'userid', 'notifications'],
components: {NotificationItem},
data(){
return {
unreadNotifications: this.unreads
}
},
methods: {
markNotificationAsRead() {
if (this.unreadNotifications.length) {
axios.get('/markAsRead');
}
}
},
mounted() {
console.log('Component mounted.');
Echo.private('users.' + this.userid)
.notification((notification) => {
console.log(notification);
var newUnreadNotifications = {data: {patient: notification.patient, user: notification.user}};
this.unreadNotifications.push(newUnreadNotifications);
});
}
}
</script>
On the frontend:
<notification :userid="{{auth()->id()}}" onclick="markNotificationAsRead()" :unreads="{{auth()->user()->unreadNotifications}}"></notification>
I believe the problem is here, in Notification.vue, I think the notification is not being pushed right:
var newUnreadNotifications = {data: {patient: notification.patient, user: notification.user}};
this.unreadNotifications.push(newUnreadNotifications);
NotificationItem.vue code:
<template>
<div class="wrap">
<a :href="threadUrl">
Нова нотификация
</a>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props:['unread'],
data(){
return {
threadUrl:""
}
},
mounted(){
this.threadUrl="admin/patient/"+ this.unread.data.patient.id
}
}
</script>

I had a mix('js/app.js') script which I had included in my app.blade.php and this caused the problem. After removing it, everything was working and the newUnreadNotifications was being updated asynchronously.
<script src="{{mix('js/app.js')}}"></script>
