Filament ignoring foreign key constraints

Pretty simple, i have a foreign key constraint on a table, but filament is able to delete records i'm not allowed to delete in the database? Is there some sort of option I need to enable?

Solution:

i found out why it didn't work, i was using soft deletes 🙂

Sorry, what do you mean

filament is able to delete records i'm not allowed to delete

I don't think it's possible for filament to know what constraints you have in the database. You will have to either check manually or add some sort of validation.

I mean.. somehow filament disables the constraints? i was expecting a 500 error, but i was allowed to delete it which is super weird imo

If you have a constraint in the database (I assume a foreign key or something similar), filament should not be able to remove it, unless they do some REALLY funky stuff behind the scenes - which I doubt. Are you sure there's not something else going on? Can you give add some examples? Like the migration definition and the code that should fail?

code is just a basic delete action on the store resource and then i have these constraints:

            $table->foreign('store_id')->references('id')->on('stores')->onDelete('restrict');
            $table->foreign('organization_id')->references('id')->on('organizations')->onDelete('restrict');

            $table->foreign('store_id')->references('id')->on('stores')->onDelete('restrict');
            $table->foreign('organization_id')->references('id')->on('organizations')->onDelete('restrict');

i would love to know why these don't work for filament

Shouldn’t you have ->constrained() on there too? Or use ->restrictOnDelete()
