The referenced issue #2725447: WI: Phase D: Enable archive/purge storage → seems to have stalled. Feel this issue needs more discussion.
There is no (easy) way for modules to prevent an entity deletion from going through. Modules that want to implement a soft-delete functionality (like Multiversion) have to override the storage class for every entity type to achieve this.
Add a EntityStorageInterface::ENTITY_SOFT_DELETE constant/flag, which can be returned by hook_entity_predelete() implementations and will make the storage keep the database records.
This would help very much with a (re-)implementation of the soft-delete functionality in the Trash module, which is proposed for core inclusion: #2786135: WI: Phase E: Introduce Trash module → .
- discuss/agree on the proposal
- write test coverage
Nope.
Nope.
hook_entity_predelete() implementations can now return EntityStorageInterface::ENTITY_SOFT_DELETE which will inform the storage to not delete the actual records from the database.
TBD.
