How to use Soft Delete in your Laravel Application?
What is Soft Delete?
- Basically it's a process of deleting data which will be displayed in frond end but without deleting the actual data from database. So in simple word, data will deleted from your application but it'll be there in your database. It actually used for keep tracking the data by whom data get deleted or when. So in this situation we used Soft Delete.
