Laravel / Eloquent：如何挂钩删除过程？

Question

When a record gets deleted from my_items_table I want to insert the record into my_items_table_archive.

I could do this on each Controller, but would prefer to hook into the Eloquent model.

Is there anything like this?

Pseudocode:

class MyItem extends Model {
    protected function beforeDelete($record) {
        MyItemArchive::create($record); // add record the archive
        return true; // continue deletion of $record 
    }
}

Any idea? Thanks!

Yes, there is something similar to your pseudocode.

You can utilise Eloquent Events

A good example of this can be seen below:

protected $dispatchesEvents = [
    'deleted' => UserDeleted::class,
    'deleting' => UserDeleting::class
];

The class in question just needs to adhere to / Follow: Listeners

You can also use Eloquent Observers / the observer pattern to achieve a similar result.

Let me know how you get on!
