Скачать или смотреть Soft Delete 🗑 Node.js, MongoDB

In this tutorial, we will teach you, how you can implement soft delete in your Node.js app with MongoDB as database.

Soft delete 🗑 is useful when you do not want to actually delete the record from database, but mark the data as deleted.

You might have seen "This message has been deleted" on WhatsApp 💬 when you delete a message. That was soft delete. Because if you actually delete the message from database, then you would have no reference if there was a message at that time.

It is also helpful in cases where you want to allow the user to delete some data, but wants the administrator 👨🏻‍💼 to see the data. So when user deletes the data, it will not actually delete the data from database. It will simply hide it from user, but administrator can still see it. Only administrator can actually delete the data.

We will use "users" as entity for the sake of this tutorial.
