Real time non-push notification in nodejs

Can someone help me to design notification in Node.js and MySQL? The notification should not be push notification but real time i.e I want to store it as well like Facebook etc.

So what do you need help in? Do you need database design or library recommendations or?

Where are you at right now?

Database design depends on the features you need.
You can just simply create a notification table, something like this

id - integer
user_id - integer
content - varchar or text
read - boolean
created_at - timestamp

dev.to and facebook is much more complicated than a simple notification

Using google I found a discuss which may help: hashnode.com/post/architecture-how...
