OctoberCMS Controller Soft Delete

Question

Does OctoberCMS have a soft deleting form/list behavior? As per now, I had to implement the restore button myself, I also had to implement the list filtering myself. Are there any available package/plugin/sample code (preferably recommended implementation) of this feature?

What I have done:

• Create an ajax controller for onRestore.
• Add filter in list config.

Thank you!

Hmm, For soft deletion no there is no plugins, for restoration you need to make it by your self and it seems you already made it , so far good.

To show records which are deleted you need this code in your controller but may be you are already added that code. just for information I am adding it here.

public function listExtendQuery($query)
{
    $query->withTrashed();
}

public function formExtendQuery($query)
{
    $query->withTrashed();
}

And filters , well for them there is no plugin as well :( , which can help to build filter.

but seems in future they can add them in builder plugin (may be)

for filters there is doc https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/lists#filter-text , you can use type text filter to filter particular column based on text search. for this you need to use latest October-CMS build.

you can refer this functionality from here
https://github.com/octobercms/october/pull/3094

config_filter.yaml

scopes:
    id:
        label: ID
        type: text
        conditions: id = :value
        size: 2

    username:
        label: Username
        type: text
        conditions: username = :value

Also if you want to check code you can check it which filters are available for now. https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/modules/backend/widgets/Filter.php

sorry, but it seems currently no plugins are there which can help you for soft-delete and filters (according to my knowledge).
