Componist Reminder Notifications

componist/reminder-notifications provides email reminder notifications for Laravel applications, with a small Livewire v4 dashboard to manage reminders.

It supports three reminder types:

• daily: send at a specific time (HH:MM)
• monthly: send on a specific day of the month (1–30)
• yearly: send on a specific day + month (day 1–30, month 1–12)

Requirements

• Laravel (this monorepo uses Laravel 12)
• Livewire v4 (livewire/livewire: ^4.0)
• A working mail configuration
• A running queue worker (notifications are dispatched via queued jobs)

Installation

In this monorepo the package is loaded via Composer path/PSR-4 autoloading. After pulling changes, run:

composer dump-autoload
php artisan migrate

What the package registers

Service Provider

The package registers Componist\ReminderNotifications\ReminderNotificationsServiceProvider.

It will:

• load migrations from database/migrations
• load routes from routes/web.php (inside a web middleware group)
• load views from resources/views under the namespace remindernotifications::
• register artisan commands
• register Livewire components based on config('reminderNotificationConfig.livewire')

Routes (Dashboard)

The package defines authenticated dashboard routes:

• GET /dashboard/reminder-notification → index
• GET /dashboard/reminder-notification/create → create
• GET /dashboard/reminder-notification/{editElement}/edit → edit

Named routes:

• package.reminder-notification.index
• package.reminder-notification.create
• package.reminder-notification.edit

Livewire components

Configured in config/config.php:

• Componist\ReminderNotifications\Livewire\ReminderNotification\Index
• Componist\ReminderNotifications\Livewire\ReminderNotification\Create
• Componist\ReminderNotifications\Livewire\ReminderNotification\Edit

The views live in:

• remindernotifications::livewire.reminder-notification.index
• remindernotifications::livewire.reminder-notification.create
• remindernotifications::livewire.reminder-notification.edit

Data model

The package creates a reminder_notifications table with (simplified) fields:

• title (string)
• description (text, nullable)
• email (string)
• type (string): daily|monthly|yearly
• time (string, nullable): used for daily (format HH:MM)
• daily (string, nullable): used for monthly and yearly (day of month)
• monthly (string, nullable): used for yearly (month number)
• status (int, default 1): 1 = active, 0 = inactive

Model:

• Componist\ReminderNotifications\Models\ReminderNotification

Scheduling & execution

The package uses two artisan commands which dispatch queued jobs:

• app:get-times-reminder-notifications-commands → dispatches ReminderNotificationsTimesJob
  • checks daily reminders that match the current server time (date('H:i'))
• app:get-daily-reminder-notifications-commands → dispatches ReminderNotificationsDailyJob
  • checks monthly and yearly reminders that match the current day/month

Important: scheduler is registered by the package

In ReminderNotificationsServiceProvider::boot() the package adds schedule entries:

• every minute: app:get-times-reminder-notifications-commands
• daily at 01:00: app:get-daily-reminder-notifications-commands

That means you still need a running Laravel scheduler in your environment, e.g. one of:

• php artisan schedule:work
• a system cron calling php artisan schedule:run every minute

Queue worker

Both commands dispatch jobs implementing ShouldQueue. Ensure a queue worker is running, e.g.:

php artisan queue:work

Email content

Emails are sent via Laravel Notifications using:

• Componist\ReminderNotifications\Notifications\ReminderNotificationNotification

Current mail output:

• Subject: a localized label + reminder title (e.g. “Tägliche Erinnerungsnachricht …”)
• Body: the description field

Configuration

The package config key is reminderNotificationConfig.

To override values, create:

• config/reminderNotificationConfig.php

Example (minimal):

<?php

return [
    'prefix' => '',
    'livewire' => [
        // override aliases/components if needed
    ],
];

Available defaults are in packages/componist/reminder-notifications/config/config.php.

Troubleshooting

• No emails are sent
  • Check MAIL_* configuration
  • Ensure php artisan queue:work is running
  • Ensure the scheduler runs (schedule:work or cron + schedule:run)
• Daily reminders don’t trigger
  • time must match the server time format HH:MM (24h)
  • The “every minute” command checks date('H:i')
• Monthly/yearly reminders don’t trigger
  • Monthly/yearly are evaluated in the “daily” job, scheduled at 01:00
  • Make sure daily (day-of-month) and monthly (month) are set correctly
