// Usage:
$post = App\Models\Post::find(1);
$post->delete(); // This will set 'deleted_at' timestamp, not remove the record

// Retrieve only non-deleted posts
$activePosts = App\Models\Post::all();

// Retrieve all posts, including soft deleted ones

// Retrieve only soft deleted posts
$deletedPosts = App\Models\Post::onlyTrashed()->get();

// Restore a soft deleted post
$post->restore();

// Permanently delete a post
$post->forceDelete();
