Deleting Attributes?

[dhildreth]

I'm struggling with building a UI for creating, editing, and deleting attributes. Specifically, I'm stuck on deleting the attributes from the entity (product).

I imagine it should be something as simple as a foreach loop to remove/unset all attributes:

    function syncAttributes(Product $product, ProductRequest $request)
   {
        foreach($product->getEntityAttributes() as $key => $value) {
            $product->{$key} = null;
        }
        $product->save();

However, that doesn't work and I'm left with this monstrosity of a solution:

        foreach($product->getEntityAttributes() as $key => $value) {
            $product->{$key} = null;
            $product->save();
            Cache::flush();
            $product = Product::find($product->id);
        }

I'm hoping this is one of those moments where I'm just missing something simple. I could use a hand please!

Have you tried doing $attribute->delete(); as shown here on line 240?

Thanks for the response, but that will actually delete the attribute entirely. I still want to keep the attribute for the entity, but I want to 'null' it out.

It probably deserves more testing, but this seems to do the trick:

$product->{$key}()->delete();
