Yii2 Soft Delete

Soft delete behavior for Yii2.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

$ composer require cornernote/yii2-softdelete "*"

or add

"cornernote/yii2-softdelete": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

In your ActiveRecord class:

public function behaviors() {
    return [
        \cornernote\softdelete\SoftDeleteBehavior::className(),
        // or
        [
            'class' => \cornernote\softdelete\SoftDeleteBehavior::className(),
            'attribute' => 'deleted_time',
            'value' => new \yii\db\Expression('NOW()'), // for sqlite use - new \yii\db\Expression("date('now')")
        ],
    ];
}

then you can use explicitly $model->softDelete(), $model->hardDelete() and $model->unDelete() (for softly deleted models). Each of these methods return boolean result. Also $model->softDelete() calls indirectly from $model->delete(), which always returns false.

In your ActiveQuery class:

public function behaviors() {
    return [
        \cornernote\softdelete\SoftDeleteQueryBehavior::className(),
        // or
        [
            'class' => \cornernote\softdelete\SoftDeleteQueryBehavior::className(),
            'attribute' => 'deleted_time',
        ],
    ];
}
