Why? ---- [](#why) If a user requests a deletion of their user data, you are partially required to remove all data related to the user (GDPR). With this package, you can store certain attributes & values e.g. to block previously registered usernames oder email addresses. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require romanzipp/laravel-previously-deleted ``` **If you use Laravel 5.5+ you are already done, otherwise continue:** ``` romanzipp\PreviouslyDeleted\Providers\PreviouslyDeletedProvider::class, ``` Add Service Provider to your app.php configuration file: Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Copy configuration to config folder: ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="romanzipp\PreviouslyDeleted\Providers\PreviouslyDeletedProvider" ``` Run the migration: ``` $ php artisan migrate ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This example shows the usage with a User model and stored "username" and "email" attributes. ### Add Model Trait [](#add-model-trait) ``` use romanzipp\PreviouslyDeleted\Traits\SavePreviouslyDeleted; class User extends Model { use SavePreviouslyDeleted; protected $storeDeleted = [ 'username', 'email', ]; } ``` ### Add Validation Rule [](#add-validation-rule) The validation rule takes 2 arguments: `not_deleted:{table}[,{attribute}]` - `table`: The queried table name. In this exmaple: `users`. - `attribute`: The model attribute. If not given, the input name will be used. ``` public function store(Request $request) { $request->validate([ 'name' => ['required', 'not_deleted:users,username'], 'email' => ['required', 'not_deleted:users'], 'password' => ['required', 'min:6'] ]); User::create([ 'username' => $request->input('name'), 'email' => $request->input('email'), 'password' => bcrypt($request->input('password')), ]); } ``` You can also use a rule instance: ``` use romanzipp\PreviouslyDeleted\Rules\NotPreviouslyDeleted; $request->validate([ 'name' => ['required', new NotPreviouslyDeleted(User::class, 'username')], 'email' => ['required', new NotPreviouslyDeleted(User::class)], 'password' => ['required', 'min:6'] ]); ``` Extended Usage -------------- [](#extended-usage) ### Storing hashed values [](#storing-hashed-values) When storing personal information you should create hashes to respect your users privacy. **Store plain-text values** ``` protected $storeDeleted = [ 'username', 'email', ]; ``` With the GDPR (DSGVO) a user has the right to request a full deletion of all personal information, including email address, username etc. If you're affected by this, you should make use of hashing algorythms to prevent any harm of privacy. **Store hashed values** ``` protected $storeDeleted = [ 'username' => 'sha1', 'email' => 'md5', ]; ``` ### Storing soft deletes [](#storing-soft-deletes) By default, the package only stores attributes if the model is being force-deleted. To enable storing attributes even in soft-deletion, set the `ignore_soft_deleted` config value to `false`. ``` return [ 'ignore_soft_deleted' => false, ]; ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance46 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity76 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
