Laravel $user->notifications return null

Question

I'm trying to get the notifications for a user. But when i the method get() in my NotificationController start it's always return null. This this the actual code i'm using to debug this feature :

 function get(){

    $user = \App\User::find(12);

    dd($user->notifications);

}

The route is with POST method, i use Postman to test it. I always get error 500 with null content. Do you know why ? Thank's in advance

[EDIT] This is the result of dd($user) for the get() method with POST request :

{ 
"id": 13, 
"rang": 1, 
"image": "https://www.drupal.org/files/profile_default.jpg", 
"firstname": "Donald", 
"lastname": "Torp", 
"email": "[email protected]", 
"created_at": null, 
"updated_at": null 
}

This is the content of my DB notifications table actually :

ID : e7f54269-a5ff-4109-9b8a-c2328fb6cf98   
Type : App\Notifications\IdeaSelected   
notifiable_type : App\Idea  
notifiable_id : 13  
data : {"idea":{"id":39,"name":"okeefe","description":"Sunt soluta et eum. Vitae sint adipisci et excepturi eos est exercitationem velit. Mollitia hic aut aperiam cum incidunt dolorem sed. Ut blanditiis eos temporibus hic illum quis.","image":"https:\/\/lorempixel.com\/400\/280\/?98265","user":13,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}}     
read_at :   
created_at : 2018-04-14 00:57:37

Result for return (dd($user->load('notifications'))); :

#relations: array:1 [
    "notifications" => DatabaseNotificationCollection {#549
      #items: []
    }
  ]

Result if i change the notifiable_type from App\Idea to App\User :

[
    {
        "id": "e7f54269-a5ff-4109-9b8a-c2328fb6cf98",
        "type": "User::class",
        "notifiable_type": "App\\User",
        "notifiable_id": 13,
        "data": {
            "idea": {
                "id": 39,
                "name": "okeefe",
                "description": "Sunt soluta et eum. Vitae sint adipisci et excepturi eos est exercitationem velit. Mollitia hic aut aperiam cum incidunt dolorem sed. Ut blanditiis eos temporibus hic illum quis.",
                "image": "https://lorempixel.com/400/280/?98265",
                "user": 13,
                "created_at": null,
                "updated_at": null
            }
        },
        "read_at": null,
        "created_at": "2018-04-14 00:57:37",
        "updated_at": "2018-04-14 00:57:37"
    }
]

@StefanoGroenland I added the notifiable attribute to User Class and this this my IdeaSelected.php file (Notification classe) : class IdeaSelected extends Notification { use Queueable; public $idea; public function __construct(Idea $idea) { $this->idea = $idea; } public function via($notifiable) { return ['database']; } public function toDatabase($notifiable) { return [ 'idea_id' => $this->idea->id, 'idea_name' => $this->idea->name, ]; } } — ebillis

Yes the trait, sorry. This one : class User extends Authenticatable { use Notifiable; — ebillis

Ah i see you are assigning the notifiable_type incorrectly it should say the User::class

When defining the notifiable model think to what you are sending an notification

Should i replace "App\Idea" by "User::class" ??

Stefano Groenland Over a year ago

Yes if thats the value you pass to notifiable_type

Stefano Groenland Over a year ago

So the end result will be App\User

ebillis Over a year ago

Ohhh !! Now i have a return ! Just look in the question this the result

Stefano Groenland Over a year ago

Great! Didn't noticed it until you gave the return haha.. so for further ref. When defining the notifiable model think to what you are sending an notification

You should be able to grab the notificationse once you store them in your database.

Take a look at the docs here https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/notifications#database-notifications

Stefano Groenland Over a year ago

And you also ran php artisan migrate after that?
