Soft Delete MongoMapper models
Examples / How-To:
# in your gemfile:
gem 'mm_soft_deleted'
# in an initializer:
require 'mongo_mapper/soft_deleted'
# in your model:
class User
include MongoMapper
include MongoMapper::SoftDeleted
end
u = User.create!(first_name: 'Scott', last_name: 'Taylor')
User.count #=> 1
u.destroy!
User.count #=> 0
User.soft_deleted.count #=> 1
soft_deleted_user = User.soft_deleted.first
soft_deleted_user.soft_deleted? #=> true
soft_deleted_user.soft_delete_restore!
User.count #=> 1
How it works:
This will store all soft deleted records into the 'soft-deleted-records' collection.
When deleting a record, the raw data will be stored as a SoftDeletedRecord, along with a few extra attributes:
- _type (the class of the object being deleted)
- _deleted_at
The convenience finder "soft_deleted" queries against the soft deleted collection, but returns a real model object, which can be used just as if it were still present.
