Laravel - One notification for all users
I have social netwrok website using laravel. My notification system works well when the notification is set for a specific user. But suppose that a user became moderator and I want to notify all users of that event Is there a way to do so without inserting the same notification to all users?
One Solution that came to my mind is
I am thinking of setting the notification user_id to 0 which indicates that it is for all users, and by the way, I don't want the read_at property in this kind of notifications so no need for another table with a FK, So if this can be the solution so how to insert it and how to retrieve them along user's notifications relationship
Answer
You can simply use Notification Facade. You can take all users and send them notification like this,
$users = Users::all();
Notification::send($users, new MyNotification($param));
And you need to call Notification facade with use like this,
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;
