# Laravel 5+ Read Only Models The read only trait removes the ability to save, delete or modify Laravel models. Ideally, this would be used in addition to DB permissions to ensure users and developers cannot write to a Legacy system. ## Install ``` composer require michaelachrisco/readonly ``` ## To use: ```php set_user_name('bob'); $result = $legacyUser->save(); //User is not saved and ReadOnlyException is thrown. ?> ``` ## Methods that will throw ReadOnlyExceptions: * create * forceCreate * save * update * firstOrCreate * firstOrNew * delete * destroy * restore * forceDelete * performDeleteOnModel * push * finishSave * performUpdate * touch * insert * truncate * Add in a PR for any other methods you can find! ###
