How To Access Specific Notification Data In Laravel Test

Question

I want to test MarkAsRead function via routing, my route was Route::post('notifications/{id}', [NotificationController::class, 'markAsRead']); and it was in API routing of auth:sanctum

api route

Route::middleware('auth:sanctum')->group(function(){
    Route::get('notifications', [NotificationController::class, 'index']);
    Route::post('notifications/{id}', [NotificationController::class, 'markAsRead']);
});

MarkAsRead Function Test

public function test_notification_read(): void
    {
        $user = User::factory()->create([
            'email' => '[email protected]',
            'password' => bcrypt('password'),
        ]); 
        Sanctum::actingAs($user);
        $k=Categories::factory(6)->create();
        $book = Book::factory()->create();
        $user->notify(new NewBookNotification($book));
        $notification = $this->getJson('/api/notifications');
        dd($notification);
        $response = $this->postJson("/api/notifications/{$notification->data->id}");//this part was error
        $response->assertStatus(200)->assertJsonStructure([
            'success',
            'message',
            'data'  =>[
                    'id',
                    'data',
                    'read_at',
                    'created_at'
                    ]
        ]);
    }

API NotificationController

public function index(): JsonResponse
    {
        $user = \Auth::user();
        $notifications = $user->unreadNotifications;
        return $this->sendResponse(NotificationResource::collection($notifications), 'Notifikasi Telah diambil.');
    }
    public function markAsRead($id): JsonResponse
    {
        $user = \Auth::user();
        $notification = $user->notifications->where('id', $id)->first();
        if ($notification) {
            $notification->markAsRead();
            return $this->sendResponse(new NotificationResource($notification), 'Notifikasi Telah dibaca.');
        }
    }

Notification Resource

public function toArray(Request $request): array
    {
        $array = [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'data' => $this->data,
            'read_at' => $this->read_at,
            'created_at' => $this->created_at,
        ];
        return $array;
    }

because id of notification was uuid, I can't brute force it. Does anyone know alternartive to test notification markasread or how to make notification id can be read?

I already tried adding [0] next to $notification or $notification->data with no succeed. dd($notification) already show me notification is exist but I don't know how to extract the id into postJson route. So I either need to find a way to extract id from notification data table or find other way to test markasread. any recommendation?

Found the solutions it was just simple as using user to pull the notifications and specify the array.

$notification = $user->notifications;
$response = $this->postJson("/api/notifications/{$notification[0]->id}");
