# Notification routing

Opt in by adding RoutesNotificationsViaContacts alongside HasContacts. It resolves Laravel notification destinations from the owner’s primary contacts:

```php
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use RoundlyConsulting\Contacts\Concerns\HasContacts;
use RoundlyConsulting\Contacts\Concerns\RoutesNotificationsViaContacts;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasContacts;
    use Notifiable;
    use RoutesNotificationsViaContacts;
}
```

```php
$user->addEmail('jane@example.com', primary: true);
$user->addPhone('+421 900 000 000', primary: true);

$user->routeNotificationForMail();     // 'jane@example.com'
$user->routeNotificationForVonage();   // '+421900000000'
$user->routeNotificationForTwilio();   // '+421900000000'

$user->notify(new OrderShipped($order));   // your own notification class
```

- routeNotificationForMail() — the primary email.
- routeNotificationForVonage() and routeNotificationForTwilio() — the primary phone.
- Each returns null when there is no primary of that kind, so Laravel simply skips that channel.

## Precedence

The trait is intentionally separate from HasContacts and is not applied automatically, because host models often already use Notifiable. When you do add it, these routeNotificationFor\*() methods take precedence over Notifiable’s attribute-based routing for the mail, Vonage and Twilio channels.
