Usage

Sending a Normal Message

To send a normal message, use the sendMessage method:

$notification = new TeamsNotification();
$message = "System Notification";
$notification->sendMessage($message);

Sending a Normal Message with Additional Details and Color

To send a normal message with additional details, use the sendMessage method with the second parameter:

use Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\TeamsNotification;

$notification = new TeamsNotification();
$message = "System Notification";
$details = [
    'Server' => 'Production',
    'Status' => 'Running',
    'Uptime' => '24 days'
];
$notification->sendMessage($message, $details);

Sending a Success Message

To send a success message, use the success method:

use Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\TeamsNotification;

$notification = new TeamsNotification();
$message = "Operation completed successfully!";
$details = [
    'Duration' => '2 seconds',
    'Processed Items' => '150'
];
$notification->success()->sendMessage($message, $details);

Sending a Warning Message

To send a warning message, use the warning method:

use Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\TeamsNotification;

$notification = new TeamsNotification();
$message = "Warning: High Memory Usage Detected";
$details = [
    'Memory Usage' => '95%',
    'Server' => 'Production'
];
$notification->warning()->sendMessage($message, $details);

Sending an Error Message with Trace and Default Attention Color

To send an error message with trace, use the error method and bindTrace method:

use Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\TeamsNotification;

try {
    // Code that may throw an exception
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
    $notification = new TeamsNotification();
    $notification->bindTrace()->error()->sendException($exception);
}

Sending a Message with Array as JSON Block and Custom Color

To send a message with an array as a JSON block, use the sendJsonMessage method:

use Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\TeamsNotification;

$notification = new TeamsNotification();
$message = "Data Update";
$data = [
    'user_id' => 12345,
    'action' => 'update',
    'status' => 'success',
    'timestamp' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
];
$notification->success()->sendJsonMessage($message, $data);

Custom Logging

The package also supports custom logging to Microsoft Teams. To set up custom logging, follow these steps:

  1. Configure Logging in Your Laravel Project:

    In config/logging.php, add the following configuration:

    'channels' => [
        // Other channels...
    
        'teams' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
             'via' => \Osama\LaravelTeamsNotification\Logging\TeamsLoggingChannel::class,
             'webhook_url' => env('TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL'),
         ],
  2. Use the Custom Log Channel:

    To log messages to Teams, use the teams log channel:

    Log::channel('teams')->info('This is an info message');
    Log::channel('teams')->error('This is an error message');
