acts_as_archival
An ActiveRecord plugin for atomic archiving and unarchiving of object trees with dependent associations.
What is acts_as_archival?
ActsAsArchival is a Ruby gem and ActiveRecord plugin that provides atomic archiving and unarchiving capabilities for object trees in Rails applications. It solves the problem of partial deletion or restoration when soft-deleting records with dependent associations by ensuring all related records are archived or unarchived together in a single transaction.
Rails developers who need reliable soft-deletion with dependent associations, particularly those working on applications where data integrity and atomic operations are critical.
Developers choose ActsAsArchival over other soft-deletion gems because it guarantees atomicity across entire object trees, prevents partial data loss, and works seamlessly with ActiveRecord's dependent-destroy associations without overriding standard destroy/delete methods.
