Triggering Laravel Notification from external source-CodePudding

I have notifications that are sent when specific data is entered by a user through a form on a Laravel app.

ie in a controller

// some db entry
// then notifiy
Notification::send($users, new \app\Notifications\TxnAdded($txn));

I also, have a python script that can generate similar entries in the database and I would the same notifications to be sent when that happens.

TL;DR How do I send Laravel notifications when there is a specific change in the DB or from an external python script?

CodePudding user response：

Create command which will trigger event

This command will accept json data as arguments. If there is a lot of data, you may prepare json file and pass a path to it.

<?php
 
namespace App\Console\Commands;
 
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
 
class SendNotification extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'notification:send {users} {txn}';
 
    protected $description = 'Send a notification to a user';
 
    public function handle()
    {
        // Prepare your data here
        $users = json_decode($this->argument('users'));
        $txn = json_decode($this->argument('txn'));

        Notification::send($users, new \app\Notifications\TxnAdded($txn));
    }
}

Another solution is to create a controller and in the same way call it over http.

Call this command from your python script

os.system("cd /var/www/project && /usr/bin/php artisan notification:send {users as json here} {txn as json here}")
