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
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require dillingham/soft-deletes-parent
```

Usage
-----

[](#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:

```
