Hey guys,

I´m not sure if this is the proper place to write this, if not please let me know.

Enabling soft deletes in Voyager

When creating the table inside Voyager there's a button at the bottom ('Add Soft Deletes') that automatically adds the 'deleted_at' column to the table.

In your model add:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes; to the top

and then:

class YourModelName extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];

That's it, now everytime you delete a record it's not actually deleted, only the deleted_at column gets the current timestamp :)

Help wanted

I would like to see these soft deletions in the browse view, was thinking of adding a button to undelete it. Anyone has any pointers on this?

Thanks in advance!

For the documentation section/tutorial, thanks! If you'd like to propose that addition to the docs, we'd certainly appreciate it!

For the question, that's a feature we'll certainly consider. We already have a Delete button, so that will handle it. Ideally, Voyager should be able to detect if the model supports soft-deletion, and allow for an "undelete" option, potentially with it's own associated permission. I'm not sure on the actual implementation details, but we're always open for PRs if you figure it out!

@fletch3555 Don't thank me, thank you all for creating Voyager!

I think that a good place for this in the docs would be a new entry in the 'Customization' section, but I haven't found a way to suggest the creation of a new section, only to edit the existing ones. Am I missing something?

Ok, I'll look into it, if I figure out a way to do it I'll open a PR :)

Hey, how the news about a browse menu for trash and restore (soft delete) ?

Is this feature already exist in v1.1 ?

Or still open for the pull request ?
