This package contains a trait to make Eloquent models archivable. This works in a similar way to the SoftDelete trait that Laravel ships with.

Once you have applied to the trait to a model you can do the following:

```
// to archive a User
$user = User::find(1);
$user->archive();

// to unarchive a User
$user = User::withArchived()->find(1);
$user->unarchive();
```

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require nowendwell/laravel-archivable
```

Making a model archivable
-------------------------

[](#making-a-model-archivable)

To make model archivable add the `Nowendwell\LaravelArchivable\Archivable` trait to the model you wish to archive

```
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nowendwell\LaravelArchivable\Archivable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Archivable;
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This traits adds a Global Query Scope to exclude any models that have a value in the `archived_at` column.

### Archiving

[](#archiving)

```
// to archive a User
$user = User::find(1);
$user->archive();
```

### Unarchiving

[](#unarchiving)

```
// to unarchive a User
$user = User::withArchived()->find(1);
$user->unarchive();
```

### Checking Archive Status

[](#checking-archive-status)

```
// to unarchive a User
$user = User::withArchived()->find(1);
var_dump( $user->archived() ); // bool true/false
```

### Query Scopes

[](#query-scopes)

```
User::withArchived()->get(); // returns all users
User::withOutArchived()->get(); // returns users that are not archived, same results as User::all()
User::onlyArchived()->get() // returns only users that have a value in the archived_at column
```
