Why is a observer class not working in model? - laravel

Question

I have a Base model that I used to extend in all other Models. I created an observer for it called BaseObserver and registered it at boot method of EventServiceProvider. I have a creating event and would like to put my logic there every time I create a new other Model.
The problem is that the creating method in BaseObserver is not being called. But, when I created a closure for creating in Base model, it worked. What seems to be the problem here?
Base.php
namespace App\Models;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Base extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
// This closure will work but If I commented this out, BaseObserver's creating method won't work
protected static function booted()
{
static::creating(function ($base) {
dd('hellp from base model');
});
}
}
BaseObserver.php
namespace App\Observers;
use App\Models\Base;
class BaseObserver
{
public function creating(Base $base)
{
dd('hello from base obserer');
$base->created_by = auth()->user()?->_id;
}
public function updating(Base $base)
{
dd('hello from base obserer');
$base->updated_by = auth()->user()?->_id;
}
}
EventServiceProvider.php
namespace App\Providers;
use App\Models\Base;
use App\Observers\BaseObserver;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered;
use Illuminate\Auth\Listeners\SendEmailVerificationNotification;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
protected $listen = [
Registered::class => [
SendEmailVerificationNotification::class,
],
];
public function boot()
{
Base::observe(BaseObserver::class);
}
public function shouldDiscoverEvents()
{
return false;
}
}
Team.php
namespace App\Models;
use App\Models\Base;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
class Team extends Base
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'leader_id',
'member_ids',
];
}
Result

Answer 1

it has to work
class Base extends Model
{
protected static function booted()
{
static::observe(BaseObserver::class);
}
}
