Delete Resource

For requests that are intended to delete or soft-delete a resource, you can use the DeleteSingleResourceRequest abstraction.

• Authorisation
• Request Preconditions

Example Request

use Aedart\Http\Api\Requests\Resources\DeleteSingleResourceRequest;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use App\Models\User;

class DeleteUser extends DeleteSingleResourceRequest
{
    public function findRecordOrFail(): Model
    {
        return User::findOrFail($this->route('id'));
    }

    public function mustEvaluatePreconditions(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }
}

Example Action

Route::delete('/users/{id}', function (DeleteUser $request) {
    $user = $request->record;
    
    // E.g. soft-delete
    $user->delete();

    return UserResource::make($user);
})->name('users.destroy');

Authorisation

Authorisation checks is performed by the authorizeFoundRecord() method (see source code for details). The request will check against a destroy ability. From the above shown examples, a users.destroy ability is checked.

Request Preconditions
