Laravel 5: cascade soft delete

Question

I am having offers and services table.

Service(s) is a child of an offer. So far I have established functionality for soft deleting an offer. How would I also soft delete appended services? Here is my code:

Migration Offers

Schema::create('offers', function(Blueprint $table) {     $table->increments('id')->unsigned();     ...         $table->timestamps();     $table->softDeletes(); }); 

Migration Services

Schema::create('services', function(Blueprint $table)  {     $table->increments('id');     $table->integer('offer_id')->unsigned();        ...     $table->timestamps();     $table->softDeletes(); });  Schema::table('services', function($table)  {     $table->foreign('offer_id')           ->references('id')           ->on('offers'); }); 

Model Offer

use SoftDeletes; protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];  public function services() {     return $this->hasMany('App\Service'); }  

Model Service

public function offer() {     return $this->belongsTo('App\Offer'); }  

Delete method

public function destroy($id) {     $offer = Offer::find($id);     $offer->delete(); } 

Thank you for all the help.

Answer 1

I have put this code in Offer model:

protected static function boot() {     parent::boot();      static::deleting(function($offer) {         $offer->services()->delete();     }); } 

And added missing

use SoftDeletes; protected $dates = ['deleted_at']; 

in the Service model.
