ActsAsParanoid/acts_as_paranoid

ActsAsParanoid is a Ruby gem that provides soft-delete functionality for ActiveRecord models, allowing records to be marked as deleted via a timestamp column rather than being permanently removed. It manages the lifecycle of these records through features like recovery, configurable dependent associations, and scoped queries that can optionally include deleted items. The library ensures compatibility across modern Rails versions by maintaining a robust test suite and modular internal structure.

This commit introduces the core library for the ActsAsParanoid gem, enabling soft-delete functionality for ActiveRecord models. Users can now call \acts\_as\_paranoid\ on their models to mark records as deleted via a \deleted\_at\ column (supporting time, boolean, or string types) rather than permanently removing them. The implementation includes a default scope to filter out deleted records, configurable options for dependent association recovery and double-tap destruction, and integration with ActiveRecord's callback and reflection systems to handle soft-deleted states transparently.

This release restructures the gem into modular files (core, associations, validations, etc.) and introduces a :with\_deleted option for belongs\_to associations, allowing them to include soft-deleted records while preserving automatic inverse association detection. It adds a recover! method with before\_recover/after\_recover callbacks, a double\_tap\_destroys\_fly option to hard-delete on a second destroy call, and a validates\_uniqueness\_of\_without\_deleted validator. The default scope logic is refined to handle string, boolean, and nullable column types correctly, and destroy! now raises ActiveRecord::RecordNotDestroyed on failure.

This release drops support for older versions of Rails (5.2, 6.0) and Ruby (2.4–3.0). The gem now officially supports Rails 6.1 through 8.1 and Ruby 3.1 through 3.4. Users on older environments must continue using an older version of the gem.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added integration tests for paranoid has\_many :through associations; Added legacy test suite for paranoid model behaviors; Establishes centralized test infrastructure and coverage.

The project now includes dedicated Appraisal gemfiles to support testing against Rails 7.2.0, 8.0.0, and 8.1.0. These new configuration files (active\_record\_72.gemfile, active\_record\_80.gemfile, and active\_record\_81.gemfile) allow the library to be validated against these specific versions of ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport, ensuring compatibility with newer Rails releases.

gemfiles · high confidence

The gem now requires Ruby 3.2 or higher and targets ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport versions 7.2 through 8.1. Development dependencies have been updated to include RuboCop 1.90, SimpleCov 1.2, and RDoc 8.0, while the Gemfile now explicitly pins SQLite3 and JRuby-compatible RBS versions for the development environment.
