Notifications: Communicating with Users

Notifications allow you to inform users about important events.

  ## Create notification
  
  ```bash
  php artisan make:notification InvoicePaid
  ```
  
  ## Send notification
  
  ```php
  $user->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
  ```
  
  ## Notification flow
  
  ```mermaid

    A[Event] --> B[Notification]
    B --> C[Mail/DB/Slack]
    C --> D[User]
  ```
  
  Notifications centralize communication logic.
  
  In the next tutorial, we will broadcast real-time events.
