Laravel Notifications Base Table not found - mysql

Question

I am working on a Laravel project. I ran these commands and successfully created notifications table.
php artisan notifications:table
php artisan migrate
All of the things were going perfectly. Later on I created a Model name "NotificationsForAdmin" with migration named "notifications_for_admin", then later on I drooped this table. Now when I am trying to generate some notifications then it is showing me this error, I dont know whats going on I have notifications table in database that is needed for laravel notifications with perfect schema. the error is :
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'followup.notification_for_admins' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `notification_for_admins` where `notification_for_admins`.`user_id` = 2 and `notification_for_admins`.`user_id` is not null)

Answer 1

It seems your notifications relation on your User object still references NotificationsForAdmin.
If you do not specify the table for a model, the table is automatically generated as a snake_case string of the model name. In the case of NotificationsForAdmin this becomes notification_for_admins.
Add the public property $table to your NotificationsForAdmin with the name of the table where your notifications are stored as the value. This should fix your problem.
