Soft Delete means when any data row is deleted by any means in the database, we are not deleting the data but adding a timestamp of deletion.
We can add soft delete features by adding a trait in the model file like below.
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Post extends Model {
use SoftDeletes;
protected $table = 'posts';
// ...
}
