Can't send notification on demand.

• Laravel Version: 7.17.2
• PHP Version: 7.3.19
• Database Driver & Version:

Description:

As described right here https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/notifications#on-demand-notifications I try send mail on custom/random e-mail address (not user from database) and get that exception:

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Notifications\Notification::route()

Steps To Reproduce:

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
// ...
Notification::route('mail', 'contact@example.com')->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

The static API is explained at https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/notifications#using-the-notification-facade.

[GrahamCampbell]

Maybe laravel/docs#6151 will help?

[LocalHeroPro]

Nope. Without provided use from your first post I get

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Notification' not found

[GrahamCampbell]

You'd need \Notification::route(...);

[LocalHeroPro]

True, but without

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

that

Notification::route('mail', 'contact@example.com')->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));

doesn't work.
In my opinion better solution is to add the line what you marked as answer in that thread. Then no one can argue with searching proper 'use line'.
Greeting.
