Soft Delete

It would be nice to have a built in soft-delete.

Here is some inspiration: https://github.com/dsanel/mongoose-delete

Ideally, you would be able to pass in options:

app.use('messages', service({,
  Model: Message,
  paginate: {
    default: 2,
    max: 4
  },
  softDelete: {
    fieldName: 'isDeleted',
    deletedBy: true
  }
}));

Example service usage:

app.service('/messages').remove(null, { query: { text: 'foo' }, deletedBy: myUserId });

Hey @jeremyjs. This is something that you would want to implement as a hook. It’s actually way simple to implement: https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-mongoose/issues/76#issuecomment-210863012

I think it wouldn’t hurt to have a bundled hook for this that allows for passing the options you specified, though. Actually, it would be handy.

import softDelete from 'feathers-mongoose/hooks/soft-delete';
app.service('/v1/messages').before({
   remove: [
      softDelete({
         fieldName: 'isDeleted',
         deletedBy: true
      })
   ]
});
