Using model events to delete related items
Submitted by msurguy - 10 years ago
Sometimes you might want to delete/update a whole lot of items that are related to a model when a record under that model is deleted from the database. This could be useful for various scenarios when there is a lot of processing that needs to be done upon model deletion. Laravel provides model events that you can use in that case.
// Model for the user
class User extends Eloquent{
...
public static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
// Attach event handler, on deleting of the user
User::deleting(function($user)
{
// Delete all tricks that belong to this user
foreach ($user->tricks as $trick) {
$trick->delete();
}
});
}
...
}
