Access to dateDeleted?

[boxadesign]

I have an endpoint that sets a response header when an entry is saved (code below).

Is there a similar method I can use when an entry is deleted?

'api/entries.json' => function() {
    return [
        'elementType' => Entry::class,
        'criteria' => ['order' => 'dateUpdated asc', 'limit' => 1],
        'transformer' => function(Entry $entry) {
            \Craft::$app->response->headers->set('Last-Modified', date('D, j F Y H:i:s \G\M\T', $entry->dateUpdated->getTimestamp()));
            return [
                'updated' => $entry->dateUpdated,
            ];
        }
    ];
},

You can access deleted elements by setting the trashed param:

'criteria' => [
    'trashed' => true,
    // ...
],

Trashed entries will have their dateDeleted attribute set.

Great thanks for that. So with the dateDeleted I should be able to return the following:

                    return [
                        'deleted' => $entry->dateDeleted
                    ];

I'm getting "Getting unknown property: craft\\elements\\Entry::dateDeleted" when trying that.

Here is my complete code:

        'api/entries-deleted.json' => function() {
            return [
                'elementType' => Entry::class,
                'criteria' => ['section' => 'contentPage', 'trashed' => true, 'limit' => 1],
                'transformer' => function(Entry $entry) {
                    \Craft::$app->response->headers->set('Last-Modified', date('D, j F Y H:i:s \G\M\T', $entry->dateDeleted->getTimestamp()));                    
                    return [
                        'deleted' => $entry->dateDeleted
                    ];
                }
            ];
        },

My current workaround was to fetch all disabled entries which worked ok but not ideal...

        'api/entries-deleted.json' => function() {
            return [
                'elementType' => Entry::class,
                'criteria' => ['section' => 'contentPage', 'enabledForSite' => false, 'status' => 'disabled','order' => 'dateUpdated asc', 'limit' => 1],
                'transformer' => function(Entry $entry) {
                    \Craft::$app->response->headers->set('Last-Modified', date('D, j F Y H:i:s \G\M\T', $entry->dateUpdated->getTimestamp()));                    
                    return [
                        'deleted' => $entry->dateUpdated
                    ];
                }
            ];
        },

Are you running Craft 3.1?

[boxadesign]

Yes, running Craft Pro 3.1.33

[brandonkelly]

Sorry, I didn’t realize that we were actually unsetting the dateDeleted value when retrieving trashed elements. I’ve just changed that for Craft 3.2.0, which should be released on Tuesday.

To update to 3.2 a little early, change your craftcms/cms requirement in composer.json to:

"require": {
  "craftcms/cms": "3.2.x-dev#636ad42cf2656ec7a5e635ee2a7f81888bd9c59c as 3.2.0-RC3",
  "...": "..."
}

Then run composer update.

@brandonkelly Works great. Thanks for your help on this.
