How to mark notification as read for particular user and post in laravel 5?

Question

I want to mark a notification as read for a user who views a particular post

public function show(Post $post)
    {

        $notification_for_user = auth()->user()->unreadNotifications()->where("data['post_id']", $post->id)->first()->update(['read_at' => now()]);

        return view('post.show', compact('post'));
    }

It gives this error

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'data['post_id']' in 'where clause' 

So how can i access data column's post_id to delete that particular notification for the user when it is displayed.

This is how it is stored in data column

{"post_id":8,"title":"Example Post...}

Answer 1

In web.php:

Route::get('/read/notifications', 'Admin\\NotificationController@readNotification');

In Controller:

public function readNotification() {
$user = Auth::user();
$user->unreadNotifications()->update(['read_at' => now()]);
}

Please check the following code.

use Illuminate\Notifications\DatabaseNotification;

    $notification = DatabaseNotification::find( $request->notification_id );
                $notification->update(['read_at' => now()]);
                $notification->save();
