    ];
}

Step 3: Add Dummy Users

php artisan tinker
\App\Models\User::factory(10)->create();

Step 4: Create Route

need to create some routes for add to cart function.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');
Route::delete('users/{id}', [UserController::class, 'delete'])->name('users.delete');
Route::get('users/restore/one/{id}', [UserController::class, 'restore'])->name('users.restore');

Step 5: Create Controller

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $users = User::select("*");
  
        if ($request->has('view_deleted')) {
            $users = $users->onlyTrashed();
        }
  
        $users = $users->paginate(8);
          
        return view('users', compact('users'));
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function delete($id)
    {
        User::find($id)->delete();
  
        return back();
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function restore($id)
    {
        User::withTrashed()->find($id)->restore();
  
        return back();
    }  
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function restoreAll()
    {
        User::onlyTrashed()->restore();
  
        return back();
    }
}

Step 6: Create Blade Files

need to create blade files for users
resources/views/users.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 8 Restore Deleted Records</title>
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
      
<div class="container">
    <h1>Laravel 8 Restore Deleted Records</h1>
  
    @if(request()->has('view_deleted'))
        <a href="{{ route('users.index') }}" class="btn btn-info">View All Users</a>
        <a href="{{ route('users.restore.all') }}" class="btn btn-success">Restore All</a>
    @else
        <a href="{{ route('users.index', ['view_deleted' => 'DeletedRecords']) }}" class="btn btn-primary">View Delete Records</a>
    @endif
  
    <table class="table table-bordered data-table">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>No</th>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Email</th>
                <th>Action</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach($users as $user)
                <tr>
                    <td>{{ $user->id }}</td>
                    <td>{{ $user->name }}</td>
                    <td>{{ $user->email }}</td>
                    <td>
                        @if(request()->has('view_deleted'))
                            <a href="{{ route('users.restore', $user->id) }}" class="btn btn-success">Restore</a>
                        @else
                            <form method="POST" action="{{ route('users.delete', $user->id) }}">
                                @csrf
                                <input name="_method" type="hidden" value="DELETE">
                                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-xs btn-danger btn-flat show_confirm" data-toggle="tooltip" title='Delete'>Delete</button>
                            </form>
                        @endif
                    </td>
                </tr>
            @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>
     
</body> 
  
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('.show_confirm').click(function(e) {
        if(!confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?')) {
            e.preventDefault();
        }
    });
</script>
  
</html>
