Soft Delete all records from a table in laravel 5

问题

Is there any way to soft delete all the existing rows in a table? I have tried ( Prospect::delete(); ) it deleted all the rows permanently, But it doesn't work in soft deleting.

If you are using Laravel framework older than 4.2, then you can set the soft delete in your model as,

class ModelName extends Eloquent {
    protected $table = 'table_name';
    protected $softDelete = true;
}

If you are using Laravel framework 4.2, then you can set the soft delete in your model as,

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletingTrait;
class ModelName extends Eloquent {
    use SoftDeletingTrait;
    protected $table = 'table_name';
}

If you are using Laravel framework above 4.2, then you can set the soft delete in your model as,

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class ModelName extends Eloquent {
    use SoftDeletes;
    protected $table = 'table_name';
}

I hope you are using Laravel 5. So you can use the third method.

look at this soft delete

use this trait in your model :

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

and add this to your model and database schema :

model:

class Flight extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;

    /**
     * The attributes that should be mutated to dates.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
}

database schema

Schema::table('flights', function ($table) {
    $table->softDeletes();
});

Now, when you call the delete method on the model, the deleted_at column will be set to the current date and time. And, when querying a model that uses soft deletes, the soft deleted models will automatically be excluded from all query results.

To determine if a given model instance has been soft deleted, use the trashed method:

if ($flight->trashed()) {
    //
}

It usually not delete rows in database.You should add a column isActive etc. and set it (1/0) or (true/false). if you want show rows,you should "Select * from table Where isActive=1"
