Laravel: How to get the recipient (Notifiable) from within the Notification?

I am using Laravel Notifications to broadcasts updates to the user. I am wondering if there is a way to get the Notifiable target of the notification from inside the notification itself.

Auth::user()->notify(
new TextNotification('Hi there!')
)

Now, I want to get the Notifiable instance (here is the User) inside the Notification's __construct. Does this object get passed to the notification at any point?

I know I can pass it to the notification class, but I am wondering if this is already done by Laravel.

You don't have to specify notifiable id to neither redefine the broadcastOn() method. Its automatically handled by the Notification as explained here.

Notifications will broadcast on a private channel formatted using a {notifiable}.{id} convention. So, if you are sending a notification to an App\Models\User instance with an ID of 1, the notification will be broadcast on the App.Models.User.1 private channel.

In this case the user is automatically inserted into the notification you're sending and you can accept it in the toArray and toMail methods.

// in TextNotification
public method toArray($notifiable)
{
    // $notifiable is the $user from Auth::user()
}
