How to do soft delete in feathersJs using mongoose for mongoDb database

Question

I want to implement the soft delete feature in the project I am working on currently. The project is using feathersjs and mongoose. If anybody is having any idea how to implement it inside feathers hooks

Answer 1

we can use hooks collection created by feathers community feathers-hooks-common

use npm install feathers-hooks-common to import it in our library.

 import {softDelete} from 'feathers-hooks-common';

    export default {
      before: {
        all: [
//it takes an object as its parameter. in this case i passed an empty object
      softDelete({}),
    ],
    find: [],
    get: [],
    create: [],
    update: [],
    patch: [],
    remove: []
      }
    }

also add deleted field of type boolean in your schema
