Laravel Soft Deletes Parent
Automatically soft delete a model's children while maintaining their own soft deleted state when you restore the parent model. After installing the trait below, the Post
model's parent_deleted_at
will update whenever an Author
model is deleted or restored. This allows you to maintain the original deleted_at
for the Post
model after Author
is restored. The Post
model will scope queries to exclude any where the parent is deleted.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require dillingham/soft-deletes-parent
Usage
Add the parent_deleted_at
column to your table:
Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->softDeletesParent();
});
And add the trait and parent model to your child model:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Dillingham\SoftDeletesParent\SoftDeletesParent;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
use SoftDeletesParent;
}
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
class AppServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
Post::softDeletesParent(Author::class);
}
}
Scopes
With parent trashed:
Post::withParentTrashed()->get();
Only parent trashed:
Post::onlyParentTrashed()->get();
Testing
composer test
