Telegram Notifications Channel for Laravel 5.3 [WIP]

This package makes it easy to send Telegram notification using Telegram Bot API with Laravel 5.3.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require laravel-notification-channels/telegram

You must install the service provider:

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramServiceProvider::class,
],

Setting up your Telegram Bot

Talk to @BotFather and generate a Bot API Token.

Then, configure your Telegram Bot API Token:

// config/services.php
...
'telegram-bot-api' => [
    'token' => env('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN', 'YOUR BOT TOKEN HERE')
],
...

Usage

You can now use the channel in your via() method inside the Notification class.

use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Telegram\TelegramMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class InvoicePaid extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [TelegramChannel::class];
    }

    public function toTelegram($notifiable)
    {
        $url = url('/invoice/' . $this->invoice->id);

        return TelegramMessage::create()
            ->to($this->user->telegram_user_id) // Optional.
            ->content("*HELLO!* \n One of your invoices has been paid!") // Markdown supported.
            ->button('View Invoice', $url); // Inline Button
    }
}

Here's a screenshot preview of the above notification on Telegram Messenger:

Routing a message

You can either send the notification by providing with the chat id of the recipient to the to($chatId) method like shown in the above example or add a routeNotificationForTelegram() method in your notifiable model:

...
/**
 * Route notifications for the Telegram channel.
 *
 * @return int
 */
public function routeNotificationForTelegram()
{
    return $this->telegram_user_id;
}
...

Available Message methods

to($chatId): (integer) Recipient's chat id.
content(''): (string) Notification message, supports markdown. For more information on supported markdown styles, check out these docs.
button($text, $url): (string) Adds an inline "Call to Action" button. You can add as many as you want and they'll be placed 2 in a row.
