use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class Product extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes; // Add this trait to the model

    protected $fillable = ['name', 'price', 'description'];

    // Optional: Cast `deleted_at` to a datetime object
    protected $casts = [
        'deleted_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

// Migration example (add this to your product migration):
// Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
//     $table->id();
//     $table->string('name');
//     $table->decimal('price', 8, 2);
//     $table->timestamps();
//     $table->softDeletes(); // Adds the `deleted_at` timestamp column
// });


// Usage:

// "Delete" a product (it just sets `deleted_at` timestamp)
$product = Product::find(1);
$product->delete();

// Retrieve all products (soft deleted ones are excluded by default)
$activeProducts = Product::all();

// Retrieve ALL products, including soft deleted ones
$allProducts = Product::withTrashed()->get();

// Retrieve ONLY soft deleted products
$trashedProducts = Product::onlyTrashed()->get();

// Restore a soft deleted product
$trashedProduct = Product::onlyTrashed()->find(1);
if ($trashedProduct) {
    $trashedProduct->restore();
}

// Permanently delete a product (force delete)
$productToForceDelete = Product::withTrashed()->find(2);
if ($productToForceDelete) {
    $productToForceDelete->forceDelete();
}
