To use Bootstrap Notify, include the following files in your HTML:

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-notify/0.2.0/css/bootstrap-notify.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-notify/0.2.0/js/bootstrap-notify.min.js"></script>

Laravel Notification Alert using Bootstrap Notify Plugin

Now that we have an understanding of Bootstrap Notify Plugin, let's explore how to implement a notification alert in Laravel.

Syntax

public function index()
{
    $title = 'Laravel Notification Alert using Bootstrap Notify Plugin';
    $message = 'Notification message';
    $type = 'info';

    return view('index', compact('title', 'message', 'type'));
}

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
        <button id="notification-btn" class="btn btn-primary">Show Notification</button>
    </div>
@endsection

@push('scripts')
    <script>
        $('#notification-btn').click(function() {
            $.notify("{{ $message }}", "{{ $type }}");
        });
    </script>
@endpush

Example

Let's say we want to display a notification alert to users when they register on our site. We'll create a controller method that sends the notification message to the view:

public function register()
{
    $title = 'Welcome to Our Site!';
    $message = 'Thank you for registering. You can start using our site now.';
    $type = 'success';

    return view('register', compact('title', 'message', 'type'));
}

Then, in the register.blade.php file, we'll add the following code:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
        <p>Please check your email to confirm your account.</p>
    </div>
@endsection

@push('scripts')
    <script>
        $.notify("{{ $message }}", "{{ $type }}");
    </script>
@endpush

Output

When a user registers on our site, they will be redirected to the register view, where they will see a success notification alert thanking them for registering.

We created a controller method that sends the notification message to the view. In the view, we used the Bootstrap Notify plugin to display the notification alert.
