making a global filter for entity framework

Question

For my models I have a active attribute on all of them, and i want to filter all inactive if the model was not displayed on the administration What is the best

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

1. In OnModelCreating add an IsDeleted discriminator to every entity that can be soft deleted
2. Override SaveChanges and find all the entries to be deleted
3. Run SQL on these entries to set the IsDeleted discriminator then set their state to "detached"
4. Change any unique indexes to ignore any soft deleted records
