Laravel Advance | How to Delete Multiple Records using Checkbox in Laravel?
It almost needs to give a feature for removing multiple records using the checkbox, if you are developing an e-commerce application or any big web application then you must give a feature to delete multiple records.
So in this post, I will let you know how to delete multiple records with checkboxes in laravel 5, laravel 6, laravel 7, and laravel 8 applications. here I also give multiple delete and you can also delete single records. A few days ago I posted for confirmation before deleting the record, so you can read from here: Laravel 5 — Confirmation before deleting the record from the database example.
In this example, I simply created a “products” table with id, name, details, created_at, and updated_at columns. I also added MySQL query to add dummy records. Here I use jquery to select all checkboxes and delete all records. So finally you have to follow some steps and get the layout like as bellow.
Preview:
Step 1: Create products Table with Dummy Records
Here, you have to create a “products” table then you can run MySQL query for dummy records. You can create a products table using migration and then also create some dummy records using seeder. So now I just simple SQL query.
Dummy Records Query:
INSERT INTO `products` (`id`, `name`, `details`, `created_at`, `updated_at`) VALUES(1, 'Laravel', 'Laravel posts', NULL, NULL),(3, 'PHP', 'PHP posts', NULL, NULL),(4, 'JQuery', 'JQuery posts', NULL, NULL),(5, 'Bootstrap', 'Bootstrap posts', NULL, NULL),(6, 'Ajax', 'Ajax posts', NULL, NULL);
Step 2: Create new Routes
In this step, we are doing from scratch so we will add three routes, one for display data and another for delete request, then third for removing all selected data. So you have to simply add three new routes in your laravel application.
routes/web.php
Route::get('myproducts', 'ProductController@index');Route::delete('myproducts/{id}', 'ProductController@destroy');Route::delete('myproductsDeleteAll', 'ProductController@deleteAll');
Step 3: Add ProductController
Here, we will create a new ProductController file to handle requests of created three new routes. In this Controller we define three method, index(), destroy() and deleteAll(). the method will handle route requests. So let’s create a new controller and put code:
app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use DB;class ProductController extends Controller{/*** Show the application dashboard.** @return \Illuminate\Http\Response*/public function index(){$products = DB::table("products")->get();return view('products',compact('products'));}/*** Show the application dashboard.** @return \Illuminate\Http\Response*/public function destroy($id){DB::table("products")->delete($id);return response()->json(['success'=>"Product Deleted successfully.", 'tr'=>'tr_'.$id]);}/*** Show the application dashboard.** @return \Illuminate\Http\Response*/public function deleteAll(Request $request){$ids = $request->ids;DB::table("products")->whereIn('id',explode(",",$ids))->delete();return response()->json(['success'=>"Products Deleted successfully."]);}}
Step 4: Add Blade File
In the last step, we will create a products.blade.php file and write a code of jquery to delete and delete all functions. So let’s create products.blade.php file and put bellow code:
resources/views/products.blade.php
