README
This package makes it easy to send notifications using the Discord bot API with Laravel.
Contents
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require laravel-notification-channels/discord
Next, you must load the service provider:
// config/app.php 'providers' => [ // ... NotificationChannels\Discord\DiscordServiceProvider::class, ],
Setting up your Discord bot
-
Click the
Create a Bot User
button on your Discord application. -
Paste your bot's API token, found under
App Bot User
, in yourservices.php
config file:// config/services.php 'discord' => [ 'token' => 'YOUR_API_TOKEN', ],
-
Add the bot to your server and identify it by running the artisan command:
php artisan discord:setup
Usage
In every model you wish to be notifiable via Discord, you must add a channel ID property to that model accessible through a routeNotificationForDiscord
method:
class Guild extends Eloquent { use Notifiable; public function routeNotificationForDiscord() { return $this->discord_channel; } }
NOTE: Discord handles direct messages as though they are a regular channel. If you wish to allow users to receive direct messages from your bot, you will need to create a private channel with that user.
An example workflow may look like the following:
- Your
users
table has two discord columns:discord_user_id
anddiscord_private_channel_id
- When a user updates their Discord user ID (
discord_user_id
), generate and save a private channel ID (discord_private_channel_id
)- Return the user's
discord_private_channel_id
in therouteNotificationForDiscord
method on theUser
modelYou can generate direct message channels by using the
getPrivateChannel
method in theNotificationChannels\Discord\Discord
classuse NotificationChannels\Discord\Discord; class UserDiscordSettingsController { public function store(Request $request) { $userId = $request->input('discord_user_id'); $channelId = app(Discord::class)->getPrivateChannel($userId); Auth::user()->update([ 'discord_user_id' => $userId, 'discord_private_channel_id' => $channelId, ]); } }Please take note that the
getPrivateChannel
method only accepts Discord's snowflake IDs. There is no API route provided by Discord to lookup a user's ID by their name and tag, and the process for copying and pasting a user ID can be confusing to some users. Because of this, it is recommended to add the option for users to connect their Discord account to their account within your application either by logging in with Discord or linking it to their pre-existing account.
You may now tell Laravel to send notifications to Discord channels in the via
method:
// ... use NotificationChannels\Discord\DiscordChannel; use NotificationChannels\Discord\DiscordMessage; class GameChallengeNotification extends Notification { public $challenger; public $game; public function __construct(Guild $challenger, Game $game) { $this->challenger = $challenger; $this->game = $game; } public function via($notifiable) { return [DiscordChannel::class]; } public function toDiscord($notifiable) { return DiscordMessage::create("You have been challenged to a game of *{$this->game->name}* by **{$this->challenger->name}**!"); } }
