Don't Forget to Delete Files: Model Events

[@sonOfLiberty100]

How clean your interface and you code is, is mind blowing to me

[@TheKennyWorld]

If you are talking about it the UI, I'm pretty sure that is Filament

[@sonOfLiberty100]

@@TheKennyWorld Thank you

[@mallesbixie]

To be really sure the cleanup will always work, you'd have to wrap the call to `$document->delete()` in a transaction, so the deletion would be rolled back if deleting the file fails. In most cases this will be fine though. You could have a maintenance job cleaning up unlinked files if it becomes a problem.

Just the thing I needed, was looking for a solution for this few days ago, can't thank you enough...

[@fulufheloful]

Thank you Povilas. This is something that i needed

[@francescoleto2823]

I love it! But often I use Event class. In this way I can call event wherever I want

[@MichaelPritchard-q4q]

If you are using soft deletes use self::forceDeleted(function ..., this will only delete the file from storage when you force delete the model.

[@fanievdm1]

Good reminder. Thanks.

[@haiffy]

Thanks. Also, this should be added as new method for FileUpload field, maybe like removeFileOnDeleted(true)

[@panicmilovan]

What about the case when user chooses another file ? The old uploaded file will stay on the file system...I had this problem with fillament v2...

[@amitsolanki9363]

I have created foreign key on post table for user_id column but when i delete user than user posts images are not deleting.
I have created both method deleting and deleted inside boot method of post modal.

[@kifaru.]

how can you wrap that code in an if statement.? My model has a option image upload

[@alialaa650]

Happy to learn it thanks

[@zubayerahamed7771]

Happy to learn it

[@albanuskelvin449]

What if you are using a filament plugin like Spatie Settings to store maybe site logo favicons e.t.c how will you delete the file before uploading anotherone

[@LaravelDaily]

Not sure I understand the question. Filament Edit form allows you to replace old file with the new file.

[@cardboarddignity]

What library are you using for file upload? Seems fancy

[@LaravelDaily]

It's from Filament.

[@nazar87ali]

that good. but if multiple file upload how can deal with it ? or just delete image without delete the record

[@LaravelDaily]

You just delete files in a loop. Or maybe I misunderstood the question, sorry.

[@kingstalker]

What about soft deleted would you then delete it or not or wil just ask for a remeber this be deleted forever message or what

[@LaravelDaily]

Personal preference: I think Soft Deletes means that there is a possibility to Restore records in the future, so from that angle - files probably shouldn't be deleted either.

[@kingstalker]

@@LaravelDaily yes you said that before in your videos but im asking what about the file let say your model is user uploads or someting but in migration it say cascade on delete it would not delete the file so how to deal with that

[@nobel1378]

Thank you very much

[@gilney.mathias]

What happens if the user uploads a file and then closes the tab/never saves the model? 😅

[@LaravelDaily]

Then there should be a separate Scheduled Job or Artisan command to cleanup old files without models.

[@amir_hjr]

Hello, I don't find any related video to ask this question in comment so I ask it here:
Between Markdown and Html which strategy do you prefer for storing blog content in database? How about laravelDaily?

[@modestasmv]

LaravelDaily internally uses a combination of both. We are writing everything in Markdown and then transform that into HTML. Storing it as markdown for edits and HTML for display

[@GergelyCsermely]

Thanks

[@dorm762]

nice!

I don’t think it’s the responsibility of a model to delete files, that should be the business/service class. models/entities in Laravel have already too much responsibility
