12,045 PointsReal-time notifications with dropdown
I want to create a notification system similar to the Treehouse one (the bell on the top right corner).
An easy example would be when a new item is inserted into a MySQL database. When this happens, the number of unread notifications would be updated in real time and the user would be abel to see the titles of the unread items when they click on the notification icon.
Does anybody know how i can achieve this or a link to a tutorial?
Thank you!
