How to handle accessing data from belongsTo relationship when the 'parent' is deleted in Laravel?

I have a database with users and a database with posts. A user has many posts. When a user deletes their account, I don’t want to have their posts deleted. This results in a problem: when I try to access name of the post author (like this: $post->user->name ), I get an error Attempt to read property "name" on null. What I would like to get is something like "Deleted user". How can I achieve this?

    You can depend on the relation from the eloquent only.

    but Do not use foreign key To avoid sql problems

    Here are the solutions …

    You can delete the author admin using the soft delete

    You can Show modal before deletion Confirms that this author has many active articles

    You can transfer articles from one author to another. When the deletion command is executed, the alternative is specified by default in the method
    Or it is determined from the confofim modal

    You can make an accessor method in model
    check if isset author relation if null return The alternative that matches your idea
