DeletedAt
=========

[](#deletedat)

Handles soft-deletion of database records

Background
----------

[](#background)

Written for the CakeAdvent post on [Build Behaviors](http://josediazgonzalez.com/2013/12/21/building-a-behavior-with-cakephp/)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 2.x
- PHP 5.3

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

*\[Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)\]*

Add the plugin to your project's `composer.json` - something like this:

```
  {
    "require": {
      "josegonzalez/cakephp-deleted-at": "dev-master"
    }
  }

```

Because this plugin has the type `cakephp-plugin` set in its own `composer.json`, Composer will install it inside your `/Plugins` directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add `/Plugins/DeletedAt` to your .gitignore file. (Why? [read this](http://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/should-i-commit-the-dependencies-in-my-vendor-directory.md).)

*\[Manual\]*

- Download this:
- Unzip that download.
- Copy the resulting folder to `app/Plugin`
- Rename the folder you just copied to `DeletedAt`

*\[GIT Submodule\]*

In your app directory type:

```
  git submodule add -b master git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-deleted-at.git Plugin/DeletedAt
  git submodule init
  git submodule update
```

*\[GIT Clone\]*

In your `Plugin` directory type:

```
git clone -b master git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-deleted-at.git DeletedAt

```

### Enable plugin

[](#enable-plugin)

In 2.0 you need to enable the plugin in your `app/Config/bootstrap.php` file:

```
CakePlugin::load('DeletedAt');

```

If you are already using `CakePlugin::loadAll();`, then this is not necessary.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the column `deleted` to your model's table. It should be of type `datetime`, with a default of null.

And add the behavior to your model:

```
