Question

I am Trying to Using Observer for Deleting With Relationship But Problem Is When i DD in Created Function Its Working Fine But When i DD In Deleted Function It Shows Nothing (POSTMAN) Means Neither Working Nor Error With Same Everything
Here Is Api:
$api->post('store','App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#store');
$api->delete('delete/{id}','App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#destroy');
Here Is Observer file made by artisan
namespace App\Observers;
use App\Customer;
class CustomerObserver
{
public function created(Customer $customer)
{
dd($customer);
}
public function deleted(Customer $customer)
{
dd($customer);
}

return Customer::store($request->person);
}
public function destroy($id)

//Relationship Start From Here
public function person()

return $this->belongsTo(Person::class);
}
//End Here
public static function store($request)
{
//Call to Person Model And Save User
$user = Person::store($request);
//Create object of Customer Model
$customer = new Customer();
$customer->fill($request['customers']);
$customer->person()->associate($user)->save();
//return customer
return $customer;
}
}

Answer 1

I know this might be a late reply and not sure if you are still looking for the answer. I think the issue is about how you delete your Customer model.
When you do something like
$delete = Customer::where('person_id',$id);
$delete->delete();
You are executing a mass delete statement. As stated in laravel document, mass deletes will not fire any model events for the models that are deleted This is the reason your deleted observer event didn't fire.
When executing a mass delete statement via Eloquent, the deleting and deleted model events will not be fired for the deleted models. This is because the models are never actually retrieved when executing the delete statement
Now look at how you create a Customer. You create a model one at a time. Therefore your created observer does get run.
//Create object of Customer Model
$customer = new Customer();
$customer->fill($request['customers']);
$customer->person()->associate($user)->save();
To solve your problem, the easiest way is to retrieve all the models and delete one by one, so that you can trigger the event.
foreach (Customer::where('person_id',$id)->get() as $delete) {
$delete->delete();
}

Answer 2

can you do all things
1 add line in Customer::observe(CustomerObserver::class); in CustomerServiceProvider in boot method
add CustomerServiceProvider in app.php file in provider array
composer dump-autoload
php artisan config:cache

Answer 3

I was also having this problem, however I was calling the delete method from the repository, which prevents the Observer's deleted event from being triggered. When I used the delete from the mode it worked normally.

Answer 4

Only these Methods Works
$customer=Customer::where('id',$id)->first();
if($customer){
$customer->delete();
}
Or
$customer=Customer::find($id)->delete();
