In this post, I will share how to implement multiple delete records using the checkbox in Laravel 8. Sometimes you need to add this functionality to support multi-action in one click so that we don't need to click the button one by one. In this example I'm using a multi-delete operation this is just an idea you can use any you want like approving the user posts, deactivating, or activating in multi-action. I'm using ajax for this so that we don't need to refresh the page while a request to the server with Sweetalert 2 confirmation.

By the way in this example, I used my created jQuery plugin **TableCheckAll** it will help us to multi-check at one click the table checkbox. For more details about the plugin kindly visit the [tutorial and download](https://codeanddeploy.com/blog/jquery-plugins/jquery-table-check-all-plugin) it.

 

In this example, we have a controller, model, route, and blade. Just continue to read the below steps:

 

## Route


```php
Route::post('/posts/multi-delete', [PostsController::class, 'multiDelete'])->name('posts.multi-delete');
```

## Controller Method for Multi-Delete

In your controller just copy the method below. In this example my controller name is PostsController.

```php
/**
* Multi-remove specified resources from storage
* 
* @param Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function multiDelete(Request $request) 
{
    Post::whereIn('id', $request->get('selected'))->delete();

    return response("Selected post(s) deleted successfully.", 200);
}
```

## Model

```php
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'description',
        'body'
    ];

    use HasFactory;
}

```

## Blade File

```php
<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>

    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

In this line `<script src="plugins/Jquery-Table-Check-All/dist/TableCheckAll.js"></script>` don't forget to download the TablecCheckAll Plugin I mention above, create a **plugins/** folder to your **public/** directory then put the downloaded folder for Jquery-Table-Check-All.
