How to add your exceptions when deleting an entity having a relations on Laravel Admin?

Question

When deleting an entity in Laravel-Admin having a relationship, a not-so-informative error dialog box crashes from the user's point of view.

How to handle this exception in the framework of Laravel-Admin in order to give the user an informative error message?

Thank you for your suggestions.

The code should never get to the database to cause this, you need validation instead — Salim Djerbouh, Sep 27 '19 at 13:36

You should add ->onDelete('cascade') on your foreign key in migration.

Example: $table->foreign('point_sale_online_id')->references('id')->on('point_sale_online')->onDelete('cascade');

But I guess that you want to achieve that user has to validate deleting something. The way I do this: delete button fires modal with confirm button, which is a submit to the form with SomethingController@destroy action. Nevertheless to achieve that you need to add this onDelete method. Then you can simply do

if(App\Something::find($id)->delete(){
//all good code
} else {
// something went wrong code
}
