I am creating laravel 5.3 database notifications.I have created notifications as per video published on https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-3/episodes/10 , Now i want to add custom fields to the notification table as per my requirements. Please help me how to pass custom data to notification and access it.
When I needed to put custom fields to Notification, I'd just put on data field, as it is a Json field, works perfectly. Like this:
namespace App\Notifications;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class TaskNotification extends Notification
{
use Queueable;
private $message;
/**
* @param String $message
*/
public function __construct($message=false)
{
if ($message)
$this->message = $message;
}
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['database'];
}
/**
* Get the array representation of the notification.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
return [
'message' => $this->message,
'link' => route('mymodel.show'),
'task'=> 1, // This is one variable which I've created
'done'=> 0 // This is one variable which I've created
];
}
}
