Paranoia Gem for soft delete

Paranoia Gem

Paranoia is a gem that allows you to hide records instead of destroying them. You can recover them later if you want.

Follow these Steps:-

1.  Add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle:

        gem 'acts_as_paranoid', '~> 0.6.0'

2.  Now you will need to add a migration to have a deleted_at column for the

     models that you want to have the archiving functionality.

        rails g migration add_deleted_at_to_posts deleted_at:datetime:index

     after that you can run rails db:migrate to add the column to the table

3.  Now all you have to do is add the method call acts_as_paranoid to the model  

     that you want the functionality added to, like this:

        class Post < ApplicationRecord
           acts_as_paranoid
        end
