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

[](#laravel-restrict-soft-deletes)

Restrict deletes for Eloquent models that implement soft deletes. Based on the idea of Michael Dyrynda at

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Run `composer require kobalazs/laravel-restrict-soft-deletes`

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

1. Use RestrictSoftDeletes in your Model you want to have restricted
2. Add a protected attibute to your Model class listing the Eloquent relationships to be watched
3. In case of an attempted deletion on a restricted model the trait will throw a `Netpok\Database\Support\DeleteRestrictionException` (HTTP 403)

Example
=======

[](#example)

```
namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Netpok\Database\Support\RestrictSoftDeletes;

class User extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;
    use RestrictSoftDeletes;

    /**
     * The relations restricting model deletion
     */
    protected $restrictDeletes = ['posts'];

    /**
     * Eloquent relationship (has to be defined for RestrictSoftDeletes to work!)
     */
    public function posts()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Post');
    }

    ...
}

```

In this example a User can not be deleted while they have any Post that is not soft-deleted.
