Soft Delete in Angular and Nest with Restore and Permanent Delete Functionality

Can you guy's help me out of this situation by giving idea how can I overcome this. I have two sections, one for ingredients and one for deleted items. Inside ingredient section if I clicks on delete button of a particular ingredient then it will be stored in deleted section. Inside deleted section for an ingredient it has two button one is restore- if I clicks here then it will restore the ingredient and move to ingredients section and another one is permanent delete button- if I clicks here then ingredients will be deleted permanently.

Solution

  • Here are a few ideas for how you can implement this functionality:

    1. Use two arrays to store the ingredients and deleted items: You can use two separate arrays to store the ingredients and deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can remove the ingredient from the ingredients array and add it to the deleted items array. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the deleted items array and add it back to the ingredients array. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the deleted items array permanently.

    2. Use a single array with a "deleted" flag: You can use a single array to store all the items, including both ingredients and deleted items. Each item in the array can have a "deleted" flag that is set to false for ingredients and true for deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can set the "deleted" flag to true for that ingredient. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can set the "deleted" flag to false for that item. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the array permanently.

    3. Use a database to store the ingredients and deleted items: You can use a database to store the ingredients and deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can update the database to mark that ingredient as deleted. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can update the database to mark that item as not deleted. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the database permanently.
