mongoose-delete

Mongoose Delete Plugin
=========

mongoose-delete is simple and lightweight plugin that enables soft deletion of documents in MongoDB. This code is based on riyadhalnur's plugin mongoose-softdelete.


Features

- Add __delete()__ method on document (do not override standard __remove()__ method)
- Add __deleteById()__ static method
- Add __deleted__ (true-false) key on document
- Add __deletedAt__ key to store time of deletion
- Add __deletedBy__ key to record who deleted document
- Restore deleted documents using __restore__ method
- Bulk delete and restore
- Option to override static methods (__count, countDocuments, find, findOne, findOneAndUpdate, update, updateOne, updateMany__)
- For overridden methods we have two additional methods: __methodDeleted__ and __methodWithDeleted__
- Disable model validation on delete
- Disable model validation on restore
- Option to create index on delete fields (__deleted__, __deletedAt__, __deletedBy__)
- Option to disable use of $ne operator using {use$neOperator: false}. Before you start to use this option please check #50.
- Option to override aggregate.
- Option to populate with deleted documents ({ withDeleted: true })
- Option to populate ONLY deleted documents ({ onlyDeleted: true })

Installation

Install using npm
``
npm install mongoose-delete
`

TypeScript support

The plugin currently does not have its own type definition. Please be free to use @types/mongoose-delete.

In doing so, you should make use of the SoftDeleteModel type, instead of the Model type.

`typescript
import { Schema, model, connect } from 'mongoose';
import { SoftDeleteModel }, MongooseDelete from 'mongoose-delete';

interface Pet extends SoftDeleteDocument {
name: string;
}

const PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(MongooseDelete, { deletedBy: true, deletedByType: String });

const model: SoftDeleteModel = model('Pet', PetSchema);

export default model;
`

Usage

We can use this plugin with or without options.

$3

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete);

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

// note: you should invoke exactly delete() method instead of standard fluffy.remove()
fluffy.delete(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy' }

fluffy.restore(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
});
});

});

var examplePetId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

// INFO: Example usage of deleteById static method
Pet.deleteById(examplePetId, function (err, petDocument) {
// mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', _id: '53da93b1...' }
});

`

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { deletedAt : true });

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

// note: you should invoke exactly delete() method instead of standard fluffy.remove()
fluffy.delete(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', deletedAt: ISODate("2014-08-01T10:34:53.171Z")}

fluffy.restore(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
});
});

});
`




$3

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { deletedBy : true });

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

var idUser = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

// note: you should invoke exactly delete() method instead of standard fluffy.remove()
fluffy.delete(idUser, function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', deletedBy: ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf")}

fluffy.restore(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
});
});

});
`

The type for deletedBy does not have to be ObjectId, you can set a custom type, such as String.

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { deletedBy: true, deletedByType: String });

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

var idUser = "my-custom-user-id";

// note: you should invoke exactly delete() method instead of standard fluffy.remove()
fluffy.delete(idUser, function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', deletedBy: 'my-custom-user-id' }

fluffy.restore(function () {
// mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
});
});
});
`

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String,
age: Number
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete);

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var idUser = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

// Delete multiple object, callback
Pet.delete(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({age:10}, function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({}, idUser, function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({age:10}, idUser, function (err, result) { ... });

// Delete multiple object, promise
Pet.delete().exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({age:10}).exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({}, idUser).exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.delete({age:10}, idUser).exec(function (err, result) { ... });

// Restore multiple object, callback
Pet.restore(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.restore({age:10}, function (err, result) { ... });

// Restore multiple object, promise
Pet.restore().exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.restore({age:10}).exec(function (err, result) { ... });
`

We have the option to override all standard methods or only specific methods. Overridden methods will exclude deleted documents from results, documents that have `deleted = true`. Every overridden method will have two additional methods, so we will be able to work with deleted documents.

| only not deleted documents | only deleted documents | all documents |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| count() | countDeleted | countWithDeleted |
| countDocuments() | countDocumentsDeleted | countDocumentsWithDeleted |
| find() | findDeleted | findWithDeleted |
| findOne() | findOneDeleted | findOneWithDeleted |
| findOneAndUpdate() | findOneAndUpdateDeleted | findOneAndUpdateWithDeleted |
| update() | updateDeleted | updateWithDeleted |
| updateOne() | updateOneDeleted | updateOneWithDeleted |
| updateMany() | updateManyDeleted | updateManyWithDeleted |
| aggregate() | aggregateDeleted | aggregateWithDeleted |
| findById() | Please use findOne | Please use findOneWithDeleted |
| findByIdAndUpdate() | Please use findOneAndUpdateDeleted | Please use findOneAndUpdateWithDeleted |
| distinct() | distinctDeleted | distinctWithDeleted |

`javascript
var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});

// Override all methods
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { overrideMethods: 'all' });
// or
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { overrideMethods: true });

// Overide only specific methods
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'find', 'findOne', 'findOneAndUpdate', 'update'] });
// or
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'countDocuments', 'find'] });
// or (unrecognized method names will be ignored)
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'find', 'errorXyz'] });


var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

// Example of usage overridden methods

Pet.find(function (err, documents) {
// will return only NOT DELETED documents
});

Pet.findDeleted(function (err, documents) {
// will return only DELETED documents
});

Pet.findWithDeleted(function (err, documents) {
// will return ALL documents
});

`javascript

// By default, validateBeforeDelete is set to true
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete);
// the previous line is identical to next line
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { validateBeforeDelete: true });

// To disable model validation on delete, set validateBeforeDelete option to false
PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { validateBeforeDelete: false });

// NOTE: This is based on existing Mongoose validateBeforeSave option
