Introduction

Filament includes an action that is able to restore soft-deleted Eloquent records. When the trigger button is clicked, a modal asks the user for confirmation. You may use it like so: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;

RestoreAction::make()
Or if you want to add it as a table bulk action, so that the user can choose which rows to restore, use Filament\Actions\RestoreBulkAction: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreBulkAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->toolbarActions([
            RestoreBulkAction::make(),
        ]);
}

​
Redirecting after restoring

You may set up a custom redirect when the form is submitted using the successRedirectUrl() method: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;

RestoreAction::make()
    ->successRedirectUrl(route('posts.list'))

​
Customizing the restore notification

When the record is successfully restored, a notification is dispatched to the user, which indicates the success of their action. To customize the title of this notification, use the successNotificationTitle() method: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;

RestoreAction::make()
    ->successNotificationTitle('User restored')
You may customize the entire notification using the successNotification() method: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;
use Filament\Notifications\Notification;

RestoreAction::make()
    ->successNotification(
       Notification::make()
            ->success()
            ->title('User restored')
            ->body('The user has been restored successfully.'),
    )
To disable the notification altogether, use the successNotification(null) method: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;

RestoreAction::make()
    ->successNotification(null)

​
Lifecycle hooks

You can use the before() and after() methods to execute code before and after a record is restored: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreAction;

RestoreAction::make()
    ->before(function () {
        // ...
    })
    ->after(function () {
        // ...
    })

​
Improving the performance of restore bulk actions

By default, the RestoreBulkAction will load all Eloquent records into memory, before looping over them and restoring them one by one. If you are restoring a large number of records, you may want to use the chunkSelectedRecords() method to fetch a smaller number of records at a time. This will reduce the memory usage of your application: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreBulkAction;

RestoreBulkAction::make()
    ->chunkSelectedRecords(250)
Filament loads Eloquent records into memory before restoring them for two reasons:
  • To allow individual records in the collection to be authorized with a model policy before restoration (using authorizeIndividualRecords('restore'), for example).
  • To ensure that model events are run when restoring records, such as the restoring and restored events in a model observer.
If you do not require individual record policy authorization and model events, you can use the fetchSelectedRecords(false) method, which will not fetch the records into memory before restoring them, and instead will restore them in a single query: 
use Filament\Actions\RestoreBulkAction;

RestoreBulkAction::make()
    ->fetchSelectedRecords(false)
