How It Works

Javascript Version

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { softDeletePlugin } = require('soft-delete-plugin-mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const TestSchema = new Schema({
    name: String,
    lastName: String
});

TestSchema.plugin(softDeletePlugin);
const TestModel =  mongoose.model("Test", TestSchema);

const test = new TestModel({name: 'hello', lastName: "world"});

/*** returns an object containing the number of softDeleted elements ***/
/***
    {deleted: number} 
***/
/***
    the argument options is optional
***/
const options = { validateBeforeSave: false };
const deleted = await TestModel.softDelete({ _id: test._id, name: test.name }, options);
/** 
 const deleted = await Test.softDelete({ _id: test._id, name: test.name }); is also valid
**/

/*** returns an object containing the number of restored elements ***/
/***
    {restored: number} 
***/
const restored = await TestModel.restore({ _id: test._id, name: test.name });

/*** returns all deleted elements ***/
const deletedElements = await TestModel.findDeleted();

/*** returns all available elements (not deleted) ***/
const availableElements = await TestModel.find();

/*** counts all available elements (not deleted) ***/
const countAvailable = await TestModel.count();

/*** findById returns the document whether deleted or not  ***/

Typescript Version

import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { softDeletePlugin, SoftDeleteModel } from 'soft-delete-plugin-mongoose';

interface Test extends mongoose.Document {
    name: string;
    lastName: string;
}

const TestSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: String,
    lastName: String
});
TestSchema.plugin(softDeletePlugin);
// two different ways of implementing model depending on technology used
// 1st way
const testModel = mongoose.model<Test, SoftDeleteModel<Test>>('Test', TestSchema);

//2nd way (nestjs way)
constructor(@InjectModel('Test') private readonly testModel: SoftDeleteModel<Test>) {}

const test = await new this.testModel({name: 'hello', lastName: 'world'});

/*** returns an object containing the number of softDeleted elements ***/
/***
    {deleted: number} 
***/
/***
    the argument options is optional
***/
const options = { validateBeforeSave: false };
const deleted = await this.testModel.softDelete({ _id: test._id, name: test.name }, options);
/** 
 const deleted = await Test.softDelete({ _id: test._id, name: test.name }); is also valid
**/

/*** returns an object containing the number of restored elements ***/
/***
    {restored: number} 
***/
const restored = await this.testModel.restore({ _id: test._id, name: test.name });

/*** returns all deleted elements ***/
const deletedElements = await this.testModel.findDeleted();

/*** returns all available elements (not deleted) ***/
const availableElements = await this.testModel.find();

/*** counts all available elements (not deleted) ***/
const countAvailable = await this.test.count();

/*** findById returns the document whether deleted or not  ***/
