What is Soft Deletes in laravel with example ?

Updated 29 June 2023

Hello Everyone, In this Article We will learn about Soft Deletes feature of Laravel.

Soft Deleting in Laravel permits you to mark a database record as “deleted” instead of actually deleting it from the database. When records are soft deleted, they are not actually removed from your database. A “deleted_at” attribute is set on the record indicating the date and time at which the record was “deleted”. So that if we incorrectly deleted the specific record we can easily restore them. That’s why Soft Deletes feature is essential and need to exist in our Laravel application.

To enable Soft Deletes for your Laravel application follow the steps written below:

# Create Migration with softDeletes()

In this step we will add “deleted_at” column to our table. We can create this column with softDeletes() helper method.

# Create Model with softDeletes()
