Eloquent Soft Deletes: Things You May Not Know 

You just cover EVERYTHING about soft deletes in just 10 minutes 👏 thumbs up!

my current project i work on require softDelete functionality, And boom you shot a video on same topic. man did you read mind?! Thanks alot. You save my day.

I already knew all this things.. but still enjoyed watching it.

In line with the unique rule, I suggest "renaming" the unique column before soft deleting it, like adding a suffix "-trashed". Then it's up to you if you will change it to "-restored" after restoring it (i think it's possible). eg: Title: "abc" -> "abc-trashed" (softdeleted) -> "abc-restored" (after restore)

Its crazy how simple laravel makes soft deletes

thanks for your time , جزاك الله خيرا

Thanks Povilas. skipping unique validations may couse an error when restoring.

Best person I know on this planet

Thanks Povilas, very informative as usual We can enable route model binding for soft deleted models as well, the syntax is: Route::get('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'show'])->withTrashed();

Thank you for sharing your experience 🍻

Short format for rule: 'title' => 'unique:posts,deleted_at,NULL',

my advise on cascade softdelete is to use build-in model events. "deleting" in your model method booted() to handle softdelete of child/parent models.

Great wrap up. Over-riding the Laravel default regarding validation would make the restoration step a lot more complex - I wonder how you would tackle checking whether a restoration is permissible (that it won't restore a model that breaks the unique constraint for example).

This package is useful when we have multiple relations to delete. For me I think $user->posts()->delete() will be fine. I have a question should we use soft delete on pivot table if parents table uses soft delete?

Wow, what a useful video--thank you! I don't now how the 'archive' got on the request @ 1m50s. I'll have to research that. I appreciate your making this.

Clear and informative as usual. Thanks!

Thanks so much

Nice tutorial using softdelete sir,

thank you

Thanks for sharing it, I have learned new package today.

Thanks.

Thanks

Let me say thanks so much

3:05 Thanks a zillion for this! I tried to normally use forceDelete() and restore() method for those action according to the official docs. But it seemed it doesn't work. I tried a couple time but still had no idea why the heck the model aren't getting restored or deleted. Phew, well, so I have to find the trashed/softdeleted post at first like this: `` Post::onlyTrashed()->findOrFail($id); `` then attempt to delete it. Great!

when should use Soft Deletes laravel? I read that some people said that soft deletes is bad practice.

Thank you for sharing your experience & tips with us, also for a clear pronunciation for non-english-native-speakers (kind of hard to understand more of the time to me). btw, do you recommend this method with the following scenario >> let's say besides setting value to "deleted_at" field, I set one or more fields in the same table, for example : deleted_by, status... so, the question is, should excecute $post->delete(); and then $post->update( 'field' => 'value' ); or should I better create a method where I update all fields together ? something like this: $post->update([ 'status' => 'deleted', 'deleted_by' => $request->id_user, 'deleted_at' => Carbon::now() ]); also, what if I need to update other tables (cascade) but with the same idea (who deleted, status, deleted at)....should I better use transactions for this ? thanks a lot

Thank you

What about restoring soft deleted child? Is there a way to restore the child after restoring the parent itself?

hi i need to install jetstrap with bootstrap 4 but now by default it uses bt 5 how can i change it?

How could we specify the total of withTrashed() can be recovered? For example, I would like to show only five items that were retrieve withTrashed, but all the data that is not deleted, should retrieve all of them.

Hi there, teacher. Nice video! i'm having a trouble, when i'm hitting the "restore" button or the "delete forever" button, it sends me right to the url, not to the function on my controller. I don't know what i did or what is happening, so, i need help there.

Can we restore all of the deleted posts on restoring the Author as well?

..... and what happens if i * create a record with title "abc and softdelete it * create a new one with the same title and softdelete it * create a new one with the same title and then softdelete it ... and then i want to go and restore all three softdeleted records .... which have the same title ... which is forbidden ofcourse ... (i know i can test it, but i just wanted to make the question since you didn't clarify that) thank you and that was a great video !!

I got one question, same as you show on the unique RULE part. Delete post "abc", and create another NEW post name "abc". What will happen if we restore the OLD "abc"?

What happens when you restore the user? are the posts automatically restored to?

Great tip/tutorial. Thank you! P.S. what is the DB app used by you (in the video)

People who try to use eloquent often say that it's a slow performance orm can you show people how to do performant queries and read writes.

how did you setup the editor to have keywords like "uri", "relations", "key", and "var_name" etc.

what if you want to restore it with the same title but now the title already got created by a new record

CascadeSoftDeletes isn't an ideal solution, because it updates relationship objects one by one. I would rather use something that uses just the foreign key for building SQL query

Sir to use any css framework like css, why do we need to configure laravel mix and then compile the assets. Why dont we just copy the CDN link and paste on the html template

Thank you for your video Last time i used observables to handle soft delete relationships I want to know if there is a solution (package) can handle and archive images ?

Because i faced troubles with softdelete and observers, I use to do it like that public function deleting(Model $model) { if($model->isForceDeleting()) { event(new ModelDeleted($model)); } else { event(new ModelSoftDeleted($model)); } } Maybe a bad habit ?

I have a Parent, which is District , And District has child Division, ans aslo District has child Thana. That's mean Division ->District >Thana.. When i soft delete Division, the Thana is not deleting. Help me

many thanks for sharing this video, i just have question what if theres already existing database from client, and dev alter some columns inside migration script, does that break the records inside existing database? what is we think best practice on that kind of scenario?

is there a way where we can fetch all the soft deleted record... when i say all i mean all tables like post,users,conments...

Hi. By chance you offer talent/project staffing?

Sir Thank you very much for this tutorial and this is what I wanted. Sir please please make a video on the theme that you are using in PHP Storm. Your choice of theme is very good and I am unable to find the exact match with yours. Sir, please help me if possible to know me the theme name that you are using.
