Laravel FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) HTTP v1 API

Introduction

This package provides (Laravel Notification) channels for sending notifications via FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) using HTTP v1 API. For more information about the Firebase Cloud Messaging HTTP v1 API, please refer to the official documentation: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages

Installation

To get started, you need to install the package via Composer:

composer require paxha/laravel-fcm

Optional: Once the package is installed, you can publish the configuration file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=fcm-config

This will create a new fcm.php file in your config directory, where you can configure your FCM settings. If you don't publish it, it will create a default channel named fcm with the default configuration.

Configuration

You can configure your FCM settings in the fcm.php file. Here's an example of the default configuration:

'fcm' => [ // this fcm key is the channel name you can create multiple channels over here...
    'project' => env('GOOGLE_PROJECT'),
    'service_account' => env('GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT'),
],

You can also set your FCM settings in your .env file:

Please put your service account file at config folder and set the filename with path in the .env file.

You can create a service account file from the Google Cloud Console. For more information, please refer to the official: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts-create

GOOGLE_PROJECT=your-project-id
GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=firebase-certificates/service-account.json

Usage

To send a notification, you can use the channel provided by this package. Here's an example of how to send a notification using the fcm channel:

Before sending the notification, you need to use our HasPushToken trait in your notifiable model.

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use \LaravelFCM\Traits\HasPushToken;
    
    // if your model has a push token column name other than `push_token` then you can define it like this
    public function routeNotificationForFCM()
    {
        return $this->your_custom_column; // column name where you stored the push token
    }
}

Create a new notification using the following command:

php artisan make:notification NewMessage

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class NewMessage extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Queueable;

    // take params according to your requiremnt.
    public function __construct(
        public ?string $title = null,
        public ?string $body = null,
        public $data = null,
    ) {
    }

    public function via()
    {
        return ['fcm'];
    }

    // optional: you can use according to your requirement.
    public function toFCM()
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->title,
            'body' => $this->body,
        ];
    }

    // optional: you can use according to your requirement.
    public function toAPS()
    {
        return [
            //
        ];
    }
    
    // optional: you can use according to your requirement.
    public function toAndroid()
    {
        return [
            //
        ];
    }

    // optional: you can use according to your requirement.
    public function toWeb()
    {
        return [
            //
        ];
    }

    // optional: you can use according to your requirement.
    public function toData() {
        return $this->data;
    }
}

Post Sending Notification

After sending the notification, it will call an event, and you can listen to the event to get the response of the notification. And you can also do some other stuff after sending the notification.

php artisan make:listener PostNotificationListener

In your EventServiceProvider:

protected $listen = [
    \LaravelFCM\Events\FCMNotificationSent::class => [
        PostNotificationListener::class,
    ],
];

In your PostNotificationListener:

public function handle(object $event): void
{
    // you can the notifiable instance
    $notifiable = $event->notifiable;
    // you can get the notification instance
    $notification = $event->notification;
    // you can get the message instance. This is the message that was sent to FCM
    $message = $event->message;
     // you can get the response of the notification
    $response = $event->response;

    // you can also do some other stuff after sending the notification
}

Cleaning up unused services OPTIONAL

There are 200+ Google API services. The chances are good that you will not want them all. In order to avoid shipping these dependencies with your code, you can run the Google\Task\Composer::cleanup task and specify the services you want to keep in composer.json:

{
    "scripts": {
        "post-autoload-dump": [
            .
            .
            .
            "Google\\Task\\Composer::cleanup"
        ]
    },
    "extra": {
        .
        .
        "google/apiclient-services": [
            "FirebaseCloudMessaging"
        ]
    }
}

This example will remove all services other than "FirebaseCloudMessaging" when composer update or a fresh composer install is run.

IMPORTANT: If you add any services back in composer.json, you will need to remove the vendor/google/apiclient-services directory explicitly for the change you made to have effect:

rm -r vendor/google/apiclient-services
composer update
