New Rails Plugin: acts_as_soft_deletable

Category: Ruby on Rails | Tags: rails plugin activerecord

github.com — Temporarily delete records from AR models: This plugin provides the ability to soft delete ActiveRecord models. When models are destroyed, they will be archived into a special deleted table. They can later be restored easily.

Example usage, just to give you an idea how it works:


class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_soft_deletable # This will wrap the destroy method to provide soft delete        
                         # support and create a new ActiveRecord class called Artist::Deleted
end

model = Artist.find(34)
model.destroy   # removes row from artists table, and adds a row to
                # deleted_artists table

deleted = Artist::Deleted.find(34)
deleted.undestroy!  # adds the row back to the artists table, and removes
                    # if from the deleted_artists table

restored = Artist.find(34) # The artist is restored with all the same
                           # information. The updated_at column will be
                           # Time.now if it exists.
