them like this. Now the easiest way to do this is to add a global scope, so that's what we're going to be doing right now. Okay, so to add a global scope over in the model that you want to use, if we just come up to the very top, what we're going to do is add a static method in here called booted. Now this will be invoked when the model is booted, so here what we can do is say

something like static add global scope, and then we can pass the scope in. Now we don't have that at the moment, so let's go ahead and create this now under models. I tend to put this in a scopes directory, and let's just call this live scope like so. Okay, so let's build this out. The namespace now is going to be app models and scopes. The class name is of course live scope, and this needs to

extend the base scope over on Laravel, so let's pull this in. It doesn't look like we can find it here, so oh no, so it needs to implement scope. Let's go ahead and say implement scope, and there it is. So it's under database eloquent and scope, and then this requires that we have an apply method. So let's go ahead and create our apply, and that gives us our builder and our model that

filled automatically, but go ahead and type that out if your IDE doesn't. So with this, what we can do is just apply from this builder, which is our query builder, and remember over in our database, if we just head over to that really quickly, we've got this live at property just here. So what we can do is say builder where not null live at, meaning if this is null, then it means it's not

live, and if it is not null, it means it is live, so this is good. Okay, so now that we have our scope, we can go over and actually add this global scope by going ahead and saying new live scope, pulling that in, and we should be good. So if we just come over and give this a refresh and click on one of these products, of course this is going to work. Let's set the Nike Air Force 2 to not

live. So if we come over here and just set live at to null, and we come over and give this a refresh, we get a 404, because that is now being applied everywhere, including root model binding, and if we come over to here, that also isn't found here, because when we do a mellisearch search, we're pulling this back, but then of course we're relooking that data up in the database.

Now if we go ahead and do a search for this, you can notice that it's also not in there, because we are hitting mellisearch through laravel scout, so it's not pulling this back. Now if we come over to mellisearch here, you can see both of these products are still in here. If we just go and run scout flush to reset that, and then scout import, and we come over,

you can see that only one has been indexed. That global scope that we have set in there has gone ahead and applied to that as well, so it's now not even in our mellisearch index. So there we go. We cannot now access any products that have not been set live, and we can tweak this later if we need to get around it.
