MonkeysLegion Notifications

A multi-channel notification system for the MonkeysLegion framework. Deeply integrated with the MonkeysLegion Queue, Query, and Mail packages while maintaining strict modular isolation.

🚀 Overview

MonkeysLegion Notifications allows you to send messages across various delivery channels (like Mail and Database) following a clean, expressive API. It supports asynchronous delivery out-of-the-box by leveraging the MonkeysLegion-Queue system.

✨ Features

• 📨 Multi-Channel Delivery - Send notifications via Mail, Database, and more.
• ⚡ Queue Integration - Automatically background heavy notification dispatches (e.g., SMTP) using the ShouldQueue interface.
• 🎯 Notifiable Entities - Easy integration with your Models/Entities via the Notifiable trait.
• 🏷️ Attribute Triggers - Trigger notifications automatically using PHP 8 attributes on DTOs or Entity properties.
• 🛡️ PSR Compliant - Built with PSR-14 event dispatching and standard isolation principles.

📦 Installation

composer require monkeyscloud/monkeyslegion-notifications

📖 Basic Usage

1. Define a Notification

namespace App\Notifications;

use MonkeysLegion\Notifications\Contracts\NotificationInterface;
use MonkeysLegion\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use MonkeysLegion\Queue\Contracts\ShouldQueue; // Optional: for background sending

class InvoicePaid implements NotificationInterface, ShouldQueue
{
    public function __construct(public float $amount) {}

    public function via($notifiable): array
    {
        return ['mail', 'database'];
    }

    public function toMail($notifiable): MailMessage
    {
        return (new MailMessage)
            ->subject('Invoice Paid')
            ->line("You have paid an invoice of ${$this->amount}")
            ->action('View Invoice', 'https://example.com/invoice/1');
    }

    public function toDatabase($notifiable): array
    {
        return [
            'amount' => $this->amount,
            'message' => "Invoice of ${$this->amount} paid."
        ];
    }
}

2. Prepare your Notifiable Model

use MonkeysLegion\Notifications\Traits\Notifiable;

class User
{
    use Notifiable;

    public string $email = 'user@example.com';
}

3. Send the Notification

$user->notify(new InvoicePaid(99.99));

4. Attribute Triggers (Advanced)

You can automatically trigger notifications by using the #[Notify] attribute on your entities or their properties.

use MonkeysLegion\Notifications\Attributes\Notify;
use App\Notifications\LowBalanceWarning;

class Account
{
    use Notifiable;

    #[Notify(LowBalanceWarning::class)]
    public float $balance = 10.00;
}

The AttributeProcessor scans for these triggers during event lifespan.

📡 Scope & Integration

This package is designed as a Producer. It formats messages and submits them to the respective underlying systems:

• Queue: If a notification implements ShouldQueue, it is wrapped in a SendNotificationJob and handed to MonkeysLegion-Queue.
• Database: Records are persisted using MonkeysLegion-Query.
• Mail: Content is handed over to MonkeysLegion-Mail.

🚦 Roadmap

Phase 1: Core Foundation (Complete)

• Basic Contracts & Interfaces
• Database Channel implementation
• Queue Integration via ShouldQueue
• Notifiable Trait & NotificationManager

Phase 2: Built-in Channels (Complete)

• Mail Channel Integration (using MonkeysLegion-Mail)
• MailMessage fluent builder

Phase 3: Advanced Integration (In Progress)

• PSR-14 Event Listeners
• #[Notify] attribute processor
• Notification History UI components (Skeleton integration)
