==========================

[](#laravel-cascadesoftdeletes)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

In scenarios when you delete a parent record you may want to also delete any detail/child associated with it as a form of self-maintenance of your data.

Normally, you would use your database's foreign key constraints, adding an `ON DELETE CASCADE` rule to the foreign key constraint in your detail/child table.

If you need to be able to restore a parent record after it was deleted, check you may reach for Laravel's [soft deleting](https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/eloquent#soft-deleting) functionality.

But in this case you can use database feature to cascade delete details. This package support cascade soft deletes feature and support queues to make last one.
