A simple package for making Laravel Eloquent models 'archivable'. This package allows for the easy archiving of models by creating various macros to be used within method chaining.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require joelbutcher/laravel-archivable

Usage

Migrations

The Archivable trait works similarly to Laravel's SoftDeletes trait. This package also ships with a helpful macro for Laravel's \Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint. To get started, simply add the archivedAt macro to your migration, like so:

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->archivedAt(); // Macro
});

Rollback

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropArchivedAt();
});

Eloquent

You can now, safely, include the Archivable trait in your Eloquent model:

namespace App\Models;

use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use \LaravelArchivable\Archivable;

class Post extends Model {

    use Archivable;
    ...
}

Extensions

The extensions shipped with this trait include; archive, unArchive, isArchived, withArchived, withoutArchived, onlyArchived and can be used accordingly:

$user = User::first();
$user->archive();
$user->unArchive();

// Check Archive status
$user->isArchived();

$usersWithArchived = User::query()->withArchived();
$onlyArchivedUsers = User::query()->onlyArchived();

By default, the global scope of this trait uses the withoutArchived extension when the trait is added to a model.
