When you soft delete a user in Laravel, that email cannot be registered again since the email field on the users table must be unique.

This package solves this problem and allows you to soft delete a user record, retain the original email as history, and still register a new user account with the same email address.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require intellow/reuse-soft-deleted-user-email
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In a Laravel app with users and SoftDeletes, add the trait to your User model

```
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use SoftDeletes;
    use ReuseSoftDeletedEmails;
```

Now when a user is deleted, their email in the database will change from `user@email.com` to `user@email.com1574789049_deleted` where 1574789049 is the timestamp when the user was deleted.

This allows another user to be registered with the email `user@email.com` while retaining the record of the old deleted user.

The package adds an accessor to the User model, so if you access the trashed user and get their email, you will see `user@email.com` without the appended timestamp\_deleted string.

### Expiration Date

[](#expiration-date)

Please note this package will cease to work on Sat 20 Nov 2286 05:46:40 PM UTC when the unix timestamp adds an 11th digit.
