Laravel：跳过数据库通知

Question

I am trying to send the explicit via Email only using the notification class where it is configured for both ['mail', 'database']

Notification::route('mail', $shopadmin->email)->notify(new ShopadminCreated($model));

But it still goes into toArray() method and generates error.

The reason is, I am using the same class to renotify using email but this time no database entry need to be created.

Solution:

After stumbling upon the Documentation on Notification. I tried this block of code and implement with below modification:

ShopadminCreated.php:

...
public function via($notifiable)
{
    return $notifiable->prefers_email ? ['mail'] : ['mail', 'database']; 
    //return ['mail', 'database'];
}
...

Controller:

$data = $notification->data; // Array fetched from database
$model = Admin::hydrate([$data])[0];
$model->setAttribute('prefers_email', true);

Notification::send($shopadmin, new ShopadminCreated($model));
