Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::delete does not exist.

• PHP Version: 7.2
• Database Driver & Version: mysql

Description:

Providing a delete method to eloquent collection would be very helpful.

User::where('in_black_list', true)->get()->delete();

User::where(...) doesn't return a Collection, but a Eloquent query builder. Is this really the entire code snippet required to reproduce the problem?

@sisve Sorry! I forgot the get() method. I've edited the example code.

Just use ->each():

User::where('in_black_list', true)->get()->each->delete();

Or just User::where('in_black_list', true)->delete()

User::where('in_black_list', true)->get()->each->delete();

Helpful.

Thanks for your help.
