Laravel 5.3 Notifications to Telegram

Installation

PHP 5.6.4+ is required.

To get the latest version of Laravel Notifications Telegram, simply require the project using Composer:

$ composer require alexsoft/laravel-notifications-telegram

Or you can manually update your require block and run composer update if you choose so:

{
    "require": {
        "alexsoft/laravel-notifications-telegram": "^0.1"
    }
}

You will also need to install guzzlehttp/guzzle http client to send request to Telegram API.

Once Laravel Notifications Telegram is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up config/app.php and add the following to the providers key.

• Alexsoft\LaravelNotificationsTelegram\ServiceProvider::class

Configuration

Telegram Bot API Token

First, talk to @BotFather and generate one. Then put it to config/services.php configuration file. You may copy the example configuration below to get started:

'telegram-notifications-bot-token' => [
    'key' => env('TELEGRAM_BOT_API_TOKEN')
]

Routing Telegram notifications

In order to send notifications to telegram, you need specify Telegram chat_id of notifiable entity. To provide library with correct chat id, you need to define routeNotificationForTelegram method on the entity:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * Route notifications for the Nexmo channel.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForTelegram()
    {
        return $this->telegram_user_id;
    }
}

Usage

via method

On notification entity just add 'telegram' item to array that is returned from via method.

toTelegram method

Also you should define toTelegram method on notifications class. This method will receive a $notifiable entity and should return a Alexsoft\LaravelNotificationsTelegram\TelegramMessage instance. Telegram messages may contain lines of text as well as a "call to action", just like Mail notification messages that are available in Laravel out of the box.

/**
 * Get the telegram representation of the notification.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return \Alexsoft\LaravelNotificationsTelegram\TelegramMessage
 */
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
    $url = url('/invoice/' . $this->invoice->id);

    return (new TelegramMessage)
        ->line('One of your invoices has been paid!')
        ->action('View Invoice', $url)
        ->line('Thank you for using our application!');
}

Success, info or error?

Telegram notifications also support success and error notifications. Just call the necessary method.

/**
 * Get the telegram representation of the notification.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return \Alexsoft\LaravelNotificationsTelegram\TelegramMessage
 */
public function toTelegram($notifiable)
{
    $url = url('/invoice/' . $this->invoice->id);

    return (new TelegramMessage)
        ->error() // or success()
        ->line('Invoice could not be paid!')
        ->action('View Invoice', $url);
}
