TRUNCATE...CASCADE in Laravel 5

Question

This should be straightforward but I can't find it in the documentation or elsewhere. How can I TRUNCATE...CASCADE a table with foreign keys in Laravel 5.1 using the Eloquent ORM? Using just User::truncate(); doesn't pass through the CASCADE argument.

Answer 1

Looks like the only way to do this is by running the statement directly:

DB::statement('TRUNCATE users CASCADE');
