active_admin_paranoia

This gem extends ActiveAdmin so that batch restore and batch archive actions will be available in resource index page. Also 'All' and 'Archived' scope will be available for resource index page. 'All' scope will show non archived resources and 'Archived' scope will show deleted or archived resources.

Installation

This gem assumes that you have already configured paranoia for you desire resource. Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "active_admin_paranoia" , '~> 1.0.11'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usages

ActiveAdmin.register Post do
  active_admin_paranoia
end

Archiving (soft delete) vs Deleting (hard delete)

The "Archive" button will call #destroy to soft delete the resource by setting the deleted_at column to the current time. The "Delete" button will call #really_destroy! to hard delete the resource (by removing the records from the database).

You can disable hard deletion by removing the :destroy action:

ActiveAdmin.register Post do
  active_admin_paranoia
  actions :all, except: [:destroy]
end
