laravel remove model observer

Question

Is there a way to remove a model observer that is added with

$model->observe(new ObserverObject)

Maybe something like

$model->observers['ObserverObject']->remove()

Thanks

Answer 1

You can check your event name by doing:

dd( $model->getEventDispatcher()->getListeners() );

And remove it using:

$model->getEventDispatcher()->forget($event);

Answer 2

Laravel 5.8

I have an AccountObserver, that observers the creating process on my AccountModel:

class AccountObserver
{
     public function creating(AccountModel $account)
     {
     ....
     }
}

To disable this, first load the event dispatcher (via any eloquent model), then tell it what to forget. This works for any observer method:

$eventDispatcher = AccountModel::getEventDispatcher();
$eventDispatcher->forget('eloquent.creating: App\Models\AccountModel');

If you want to remember it again:

AccountModel::observe(AccountObserver::class);
