Eloquent delete record by id

posted 9 years ago

Hey,

I'm trying to remove a record by unquie id using eloquent this is my first ever project in laravel so I'm still trying to learn! Currently when I click delete it removes all the records not the one where ID = x

Route::post('/status/{statusId}/delete', [
'uses' => '\Dashboard\Http\Controllers\StatusController@deleteStatus',
'as' => 'status.delete',
'middleware' => ['auth'],
]);

public function deleteStatus(Request $request, $statusId)
{
    Auth::user()->statuses()->delete('{$statusId}');

return redirect()->route('home')->with('success', 'Post deleted.');
}

Try to use:

Auth::user()->statuses()->find('{$statusId}')->delete();

Hope it works!

PS: If you are starting with Laravel I can recommend you a Laravel step-by-step course: Learn Laravel 5.0 => 5.1

Best wishes.

If it's a unique ID, why do you even need the user?

Status::destroy($id);

if you have a unique id, you only need to use the destroy method of 'Status' model
