Bug #5010
Updated by Tim Pierce over 9 years ago
*Workbench behavior*
By default, Workbench should not display any collection with an @expires_at@ field set to any non-NULL value. These items are presumed to be in the trash.
When viewing a list of collections in a project, the trash icon next to each collection should:
# Prompt for confirmation
# Call the DELETE method on the collection on the API server
*API server*
When returning a collection or list of collections, the API server only omits collections whose @expires_at@ field is set to a date in the past; if the date is in the future, these collections are in the trash but are still accessible.
The DELETE method on a collection sets the @expires_at@ date to @Time.now + Rails.application.config.default_trash_lifetime@.
Any collection whose @expires_at@ date is in the past may be garbage collected at any moment.
