python 2.7 - django-notifications: how NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True works? -

i want notification system app, looking django package called django-notifications. understood of notification_soft_delete=true settings.

i mean when following:

from notifications import notify notify.send(user, recipient=user, verb='you reached level 10') 

this make entry database deleted=false if not wrong. have following in settings.py:

notifications_soft_delete=true 

which updates deleted=false deleted=true. don't know when change happens. there 1 api in documentation marks notifications deleted=true:

qs.mark_all_as_deleted() | qs.mark_all_as_deleted(recipient)

mark notifications in queryset (optionally filtered recipient) deleted=true. must used notifications_soft_delete=true.

but how mark notifications deleted??

here offical documents:

soft delete

by default, delete/(?p<slug>\d+)/ deletes specified notification record db. can change behaviour "mark notification.deleted field true" by:

add settings.py: notifications_soft_delete=true option, queryset methods unread , read contain 1 more filter: deleted=false. meanwhile, queryset methods deleted, active, mark_all_as_deleted, mark_all_as_active turned on. see more details in queryset methods section.

qs.mark_all_as_deleted() | qs.mark_all_as_deleted(recipient)

mark notifications in queryset (optionally filtered recipient) deleted=true. must used notifications_soft_delete=true.

so, if want mark notifications deleted,you can either of these

1. at frontend call api of delete/(?p<slug>\d+)/
2. at backend query notifications , call mark_all_as_deleted() or mark_all_as_deleted(recipient)
