Notification Bell v2.0.0

The biggest release of the package: end-user control, a robust delivery pipeline, and zero-build self-contained assets. It looks and works right in any project — Tailwind, Bootstrap, or plain CSS — with no npm build and no published assets.

Highlights

Zero build, zero publish

• Self-contained CSS (prefixed nb-) served directly from the package — no Tailwind/Bootstrap dependency, no npm run build, no vendor:publish required
• Automatic dark mode following the host page (.dark, [data-theme], [data-bs-theme]), with theme.mode to force system, dark or light
• Full theming via config: colors, badge style/position, radius, dropdown width, toast position, custom bell icon and item view

End-user control

• Preferences panel inside the bell: toasts, sound + volume, muted categories, do-not-disturb snooze and daily quiet hours (persisted per user)
• Pin, archive, undo delete (soft deletes) and clear-all with elegant inline confirmations — no native browser dialogs
• Tabs (All / Unread / Archived), smart grouping via group_key, and a full history page with search and filters

Robust delivery pipeline

• Deduplication window (dedup_key) and per-user rate limiting against notification floods
• scheduled_at / expires_at support
• Laravel events: NotificationCreated, NotificationRead, NotificationArchived, NotificationDeleted
• Real-time broadcasting (Echo / Reverb / Pusher) with automatic polling fallback
• Optional REST API for mobile apps and SPAs

Production safety

• Idempotent, reconciling migrations — partial runs and pre-existing tables never break a deploy
• Schema-readiness guard: between composer update and php artisan migrate the bell renders empty instead of throwing on every page

Quality

• English (default) and Brazilian Portuguese, forceable via locale config or component prop — including relative dates
• Redesigned admin panel with self-contained assets, dark mode and accessibility
• New test suite: 52 tests (PHPUnit + Testbench) covering models, dispatcher, preferences, Livewire components, API and deploy scenarios

Breaking changes

• Notification::delete() is now a soft delete; cleanup routines purge trashed rows permanently
• The Tailwind-dependent views were replaced by self-contained CSS — if you had published the v1 views, re-publish or port customizations to theme.item_view / theme.bell_icon
• New required migrations — run php artisan migrate after upgrading

Upgrading from 1.x

1. composer require caiquebispo/notification-bell:^2.0
2. php artisan migrate
3. If you had published the config: php artisan vendor:publish --tag="notification-bell-config" --force to see the new keys (old configs keep working — missing keys fall back to defaults)

The helper API is backward compatible: NotificationHelper::create() keeps its signature, with new capabilities in the trailing $options array.
