Periodic cleaning of models from obsolete records

To periodically clean models of obsolete records. With this trait, Laravel will do this automatically, only you need to adjust the frequency of the model:prune command in the Kernel class.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Prunable;
class Flight extends Model
{
use Prunable;
/**
* Get the prunable model query.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
*/
public function prunable()
{
return static::where('created_at', '<=', now()->subMonth());
}
}

Also, in the pruning method, you can set the actions that must be performed before deleting the model:

protected function pruning()
{
// Removing additional resources,
// associated with the model. For example, files.
 
Storage::disk('s3')->delete($this->filename);
}
