Laravel Model Restore Event - php

Question

So I have 2 Models Users & Staff. They have one to one relationship with one another.
User.php 'hasOne' Staff
AND
Staff.php 'belongsTo' User
When I Soft Delete a User I want to soft delete Staff entry as well, I have achieved this using(Works Perfectly):
static::deleting(function ($user) {
$user->staff()->delete();
});
Now I want to restore the staff when I restore the User for that I have tried using this(Not working):
static::restoring(function ($user) {
$user->staff()->restore();
});
But this is not working. The User Entry is deleted but the Staff entry still remains soft deleted.
Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong here?
Also, Is this the best way to get this done? Or is there some other way this should be done?
PS: I'm using Laravel 5.5

Answer 1

It isn't working because $user->staff() doesn't fetch deleted staff. That's how relationships work by default.
Just replace it with this:
static::restoring(function ($user) {
$user->staff()->withTrashed()->restore();
});

"static::restoring" event is never triggered when restoring a batch of models.
If you're doing something like:
Yourmodel::whereIn('id', [1,2,3])->restore();
It will restore your models but "static::restoring or restored" will never be triggered, instead you could do something like this:
$models = Yourmodel::whereIn('id', [1,2,3])->get();
foreach($models as $model) {
$model->restore();
}
