Idea #21877
Updated by Peter Amstutz about 1 month ago
It seems excessive to give link objects a whole trash_at/delete_at lifecycle. We could instead have an optional entry in properties "delete_at", this would store a UTC timestamp, and then the "trash sweep" process would look for expired links and destroy them. With newer Postgres JSON support, I think we can write this directly as a query -- selecting the value as a JSON path, converting it to a datetime, and comparing it to the current time. It may need to iterate over every row that has @delete_at@, which is probably fine unless there are many thousands of temporary permissions -- but it may now be possible now to index json path queries.
