Exclude Model Entities From Eloquent With the Laravel Exclusions Package

 aravel Excludable is a package to exclude models from Eloquent queries. You can define a subset of models that should be excluded when you query an individual model or a collection:

 1use App\Models\Article;
 2 
 3$article = Article::query()->findOrFail(1)
 4 
 5$article->addToExclusion();
 6 
 7$article->excluded(); // returns true
 8 
 9// Throws NotFoundHttpException after exclusion
10Article::findOrFail(1);

Similar to the soft deletes functionality, you can include “excluded” models with the following scope:

1Article::withExcluded()->get();
2 
3// Or only return excluded models
4Article::onlyExcluded()->get();

Finally, here’s an example of how to configure Eloquent models to support exclusions:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Models;
 4 
 5use HFarm\Excludable\Excludable;
 6 
 7class Article extends Model
 8{
 9    use Excludable;
10 
11    protected $fillable = [
12        'title',
13        'body',
14    ];
15}
