This is the documentation for
v6 but the latest version is
v8
.
You can switch versions in the menu on the left/at the top.
Check your current version with the following command:
composer show spatie/laravel-backup
By default the package send notifications via email or Slack. It's easy to add an extra notification channel such as Telegram or native mobile push notification, etc.
The Laravel community is awesome. Shortly after Laravel 5.3 was released various developers worked together to create 30+ notification channels. You can view them all on http://laravel-notification-channels.com.
In the following example we're going to add the Pusher push notifications channel. Other notification drivers can be added in the same way.
##1. Install the notification channel driver
For Pusher Push notifications, require this package
laravel-notification-channels/pusher-push-notifications
After composer has pulled in the package, just follow the installation instructions of the package to complete the installation.
##2. Creating your own custom notification
Let say you want to be notified via Pusher push notifications when a backup fails. To make this happen you'll need to create your own BackupFailed
notification class like the one below:
namespace App\Notifications;
use Spatie\Backup\Notifications\Notifications\BackupHasFailed as BaseNotification;
use NotificationChannels\PusherPushNotifications\Message;
class BackupHasFailed extends BaseNotification
{
public function toPushNotification($notifiable)
{
return Message::create()
->iOS()
->badge(1)
->sound('fail')
->body("The backup of {$this->applicationName()} to disk {$this->diskName()} has failed");
}
}
##3. Register your custom notification in the config file
The last thing you need to do is register your custom notification in the config file.
// config/backup.php
use \NotificationChannels\PusherPushNotifications\Channel as PusherChannel
...
'notifications' => [
'notifications' => [
\App\Notifications\BackupHasFailed::class => ['mail', 'slack', PusherChannel::class],
...
