dont stop item deletion if leaving the page
Describe the goal you'd like to achieve
when i click on a item to delete it, it will get deleted after ~6 seconds. when i leave the site before this ~6 seconds the item not get deleted.
Describe possible solutions
when i deleted something it should get deleted even when i not wait for it.
Additional context
in my opionion this is a design problem. the deletion at the moment works only on client js side. when someone click the delete button it should mark the item as deleted with a delete timestamp in the database. when someone stops the deletion you call the backend again to set the delete timestamp to 0
Yes, but this will cause another request to the server, which can fail due to latency or server failure. The timeout is a security function to avoid accidentially deleting an item, which cannot be easily restored.
But I agree, that for sure there is room for improvement.
