Loopback SoftDelete

This module is designed for the Strongloop Loopback framework. It allows entities of any Model to be "soft deleted" by adding deletedAt and isDeleted attributes. Queries following the standard format will not return these entities; they can only be accessed by adding { isDeleted: true } to qutheery object (at the same level as where, include etc).

Install

NPM

  npm install --save loopback-softdelete

YARN

  yarn add loopback-softdelete

Configure

Add the mixins property to your server/model-config.json:

{
  "_meta": {
    "sources": [
      "loopback/common/models",
      "loopback/server/models",
      "../common/models",
      "./models"
    ],
    "mixins": [
      "loopback/common/mixins",
      "../node_modules/loopback-softdelete",
      "../common/mixins"
    ]
  }
}

To use with your Models add the mixins attribute to the definition object of your model config.

  {
    "name": "project",
    "plural": "projects",
    "base": "PersistedModel",
    "properties": {
      "name": {
        "type": "string",
        "required": true
      }
    },
    "mixins": {
      "SoftDelete" : true,
    },
  },

Retrieving deleted entities

To run queries that include deleted items in the response, add { isDeleted: true } to the query object (at the same level as where, include etc).
