OneSignal Push Notifications for Laravel

Introduction

This is a simple OneSignal wrapper library for Laravel. It simplifies the basic notification flow with the defined methods. You can send a message to all users or you can notify a single user. Before you start installing this service, please complete your OneSignal setup at https://onesignal.com and finish all the steps that is necessary to obtain an application id and REST API Keys.

Installation

First, you'll need to require the package with Composer:

composer require berkayk/onesignal-laravel

Afterwards, run composer update from your command line.

You only need to do the following if your Laravel version is below 5.5:

Then, update config/app.php by adding an entry for the service provider.

'providers' => [
	// ...
	Berkayk\OneSignal\OneSignalServiceProvider::class
];

Then, register class alias by adding an entry in aliases section

'aliases' => [
	// ...
	'OneSignal' => Berkayk\OneSignal\OneSignalFacade::class
];

Finally, from the command line again, run

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

to publish the default configuration file. This will publish a configuration file named onesignal.php which includes your OneSignal authorization keys.

Note: If the previous command does not publish the config file successfully, please check the steps involving providers and aliases in the config/app.php file.

Configuration

You need to fill in onesignal.php file that is found in your applications config directory. app_id is your OneSignal App ID and rest_api_key is your REST API Key.

Usage

Sending a Notification To All Users

You can easily send a message to all registered users with the command

    OneSignal::sendNotificationToAll(
        "Some Message", 
        $url = null, 
        $data = null, 
        $buttons = null, 
        $schedule = null
    );

$url , $data , $buttons and $schedule fields are exceptional. If you provide a $url parameter, users will be redirecting to that url.

Sending a Notification based on Tags/Filters

You can send a message based on a set of tags with the command

Example 1:

    OneSignal::sendNotificationUsingTags(
        "Some Message",
        array(
            ["key" => "email", "relation" => "=", "value" => "email21@example.com"],
            ["key" => "email", "relation" => "=", "value" => "email1@example.com"],
            ...
        ),
        $url = null,
        $data = null,
        $buttons = null,
        $schedule = null
    );

Example 2:

    OneSignal::sendNotificationUsingTags(
        "Some Message",
        array(
            ["key" => "session_count", "relation" => ">", "value" => '2'],
            ["key" => "first_session", "relation" => ">", "value" => '2000'],
        ),
        $url = null,
        $data = null,
        $buttons = null,
        $schedule = null
    );

Sending a Notification To A Specific User

After storing a user's tokens in a table, you can simply send a message with

    OneSignal::sendNotificationToUser(
        "Some Message",
        $userId,
        $url = null,
        $data = null,
        $buttons = null,
        $schedule = null
    );

$userId is the user's unique id where he/she is registered for notifications. Read https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/add-user-data-tags for additional details. $url , $data , $buttons and $schedule fields are exceptional. If you provide a $url parameter, users will be redirecting to that url.

Sending a Notification To A Specific external User (custom user id added by user)

After storing a user's tokens in a table, you can simply send a message with

    OneSignal::sendNotificationToExternalUser(
        "Some Message",
        $userId,
        $url = null,
        $data = null,
        $buttons = null,
        $schedule = null
    );

$userId is the user's unique external id (custom id) added by the user where he/she is registered for notifications. Read https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/add-user-data-tags for additional details. $url , $data , $buttons and $schedule fields are exceptional. If you provide a $url parameter, users will be redirecting to that url.

Sending a Notification To Segment

You can simply send a notification to a specific segment with

    OneSignal::sendNotificationToSegment(
        "Some Message",
        $segment,
        $url = null,
        $data = null,
        $buttons = null,
        $schedule = null
    );
