Managing soft deletion of departments when a company is soft deleted can be tricky. The current implementation involves iterating through each department associated with the company and soft deleting them. However, it seems that only the first department is being successfully soft deleted even though there are more departments in the company.
In the Company.php file, the code snippet for handling soft deletion of departments within the 'deleting' event is provided:
protected static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
static::deleting(function($company) {
foreach($company->department as $department)
{
$department->delete();
}
});
}
The above code executes soft deletion for each department linked to the company. However, if this is not working as expected, it might be due to how relations are defined or another underlying issue.
An additional consideration is the relationship between departments and employees. It is mentioned that departments have many employees, which adds complexity to the soft deletion process. For soft deleting all employees related to a specific department, a similar approach is taken within the 'deleting' event in the Department model:
protected static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
static::deleting(function($department) {
Employee::where('DepartmentId','=',$department->DepartmentId)->delete();
});
}
