How to delete all the rows in a table using Eloquent?
eloquent, laravel, laravel-4
Solution
The reason `MyModel::all()->delete()` doesn't work is because `all()` actually fires off the query and returns a collection of Eloquent objects.
You can make use of the truncate method, this works for Laravel 4 and 5:
MyModel::truncate();
That drops all rows from the table without logging individual row deletions.
Problem
My guess was to use the following syntax: ``` MyModel::all()->delete(); ``` But that did not work. I'm sure it's super simple, but I've searched for documentation on the subject and can't find it!
