F3 SoftErase

Instead of removing records from your database, the SoftErase Trait will store records in a trashed state, and deleted records can be restored.

##System Requirements

SoftErase requires at least Fat-Free v3.* and PHP 5.4+. It is also required to have a deleted_at field for all SQL databases

Installation

To install, copy the /lib/db/softerase.php file to the /lib/db/. OR use Composer and run composer require acemureithi/f3-softerase

Getting Started

• Define your class

class Book extends \DB\SQL\Mapper{ //Also Works for JIG not tested on Mongo
	use \DB\SoftErase; // The SoftErase Trait
}

• Use it!

$db = new \DB\SQL('mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname={db}', 'username', 'password');
$table = 'books';
$mapper = new Book($mysql, $table);
$mapper->book = "The day of the jackal";
$mapper->author = "Cant Remember";
$mapper->save();
$mapper->erase(); //"Record was soft erased"
$mapper->restore(); //Record is back!
$mapper->forceErase(); //Okay Goodbye We cannot restore you anymore

And thats it!

FAQ

Can I use it on php 5.3?

No. Traits are ony supported from php 5.4 onward.

Any Db Changes Needed?

Yes, especially SQL Databases, add a field deleted_at (or how you define it in the $deleteTime variable) to avoid field missing errors
