Broadcast only to some users based on matched conditions

[myckhel]

In laravel broadcasting, i have reached some limits i couldn't exceed.

For example i want to broadcast to users whose age range from 20 - 25.

I can achieve it in a way i think could be done better than

public function broadcastOn()
    {
      return [
        'user.age.21',
        'user.age.22',
        ...
      ];
    }

In my client's side

I will have to subscribe to all channels from 'user.age.20' upto 'user.age.25'
Which i feel can be improved.

Above broadcast approach will complicate everything if i will have to broadcast to users based on 2 or more conditions

For example
I want to broadcast to users with age range 20-25 and users with gender=female

Using the above broadcast approach will make it more complex and the more the conditions the more the complexity.

Im thinking if there could be a chained method that accepts a callback of a subscribed user argument that returns boolean which indicates that the subscribed user can receive the broadcast or not.

For example

broadcast(new UserCreated)->onlyTo(function(User $subscribedUser) {
    return in_array($subscribedUser->age, [20, 21, ..., 25]) && $subscribedUser->gender == 'female';
});

Could this be a considerable idea? @taylorotwell @themsaid @driesvints @lucasmichot
