Laravel Tinker Updating and deleting

We’ll go into the command line:

php artisan tinker

Now find a record:

$post = App\Models\Post::find(3);

Update like this:

$post->title = "hi"
$post->content = "hi"

In order to save to database write:

$post->save();

To soft delete you just need one line like so:

$post->delete()

To permanently delete this:

$post = App\Models\Post::onlyTrashed()

This will give you an Eloquent Builder response. If you write $post you’ll see it again

Now permanently delete:

$post->forceDelete()
