DeletedObject

pragmatic.models.DeletedObject

Stores an audit record whenever a model instance is deleted through DeleteObjectMixin. Requires PRAGMATIC_TRACK_DELETED_OBJECTS = True in your settings.

from pragmatic.models import DeletedObject

Fields:

Field	Description
content_type	FK to ContentType (the model class that was deleted)
object_id	The primary key of the deleted instance
object_str	str(instance) captured before deletion (max 300 chars)
user	FK to the user who triggered the deletion; NULL for unauthenticated
datetime	Timestamp of deletion (auto-set, db-indexed)

The model uses get_latest_by = 'datetime' and orders by datetime ascending.

Setup

1. Enable tracking in settings:

   PRAGMATIC_TRACK_DELETED_OBJECTS = True
   

2. Run migrations:

   python manage.py migrate pragmatic
   

3. Use DeleteObjectMixin (or CheckProtectedDeleteObjectMixin) on your delete views — records are created automatically.
