Laravel Notification Store Additional ID Fields - php

Question

So I have Laravel Notifications setup and it's working perfectly fine.
However, I've extend the migration to include an additional id field:
$table->integer('project_id')->unsigned()->nullable()->index();
Thing is, I don't see how I can actually set that project_id field. My notification looks like this:
<?php
namespace App\Notifications\Project;
use App\Models\Project;
use App\Notifications\Notification;
class ReadyNotification extends Notification
{
protected $project;
public function __construct(Project $project)
{
$this->project = $project;
}
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
return [
'project_id' => $this->project->id,
'name' => $this->project->full_name,
'updated_at' => $this->project->updated_at,
'action' => 'project-ready'
];
}
}
So ya, I can store it in the data, but what if I want to clear the notification specifically by "project" instead of by "user" or by "notification".
For instance if they delete the project, I want the notifications for it cleared, but there is no way to access that unless I do some wild card search on the data column.
So is there anyway to insert that project_id in the notification ?

You could create an Observer to update the field automatically.
NotificationObserver.php
namespace App\Observers;
class NotificationObserver
{
public function creating($notification)
{
$notification->project_id = $notification->data['project_id'] ?? 0;
}
}
EventServiceProvider.php
use App\Observers\NotificationObserver;
use Illuminate\Notifications\DatabaseNotification;
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
parent::boot();
DatabaseNotification::observe(NotificationObserver::class);
}
}
And you should be able to access the table using the default model to perform actions.
DatabaseNotification::where('project_id', 11)->delete();
