Implementing a Mongoose Plugin for Soft Delete Array doc and root doc Filtering

I am developing a Mongoose plugin to handle soft deletion and filtering of soft-deleted items using find() in a MongoDB database. The plugin needs to:

1. Automatically filter out soft-deleted documents and nested array items in find() queries.
2. Provide a method to perform soft deletion on both top-level documents and nested array items.
3. Allow the option to include soft-deleted items in queries when needed.

My main challenges are:

• Ensuring the pre-find hook efficiently filters both top-level and nested soft-deleted items.
• Implementing a flexible soft delete method that works for various document structures.
• Handling the option to show soft-deleted items without complicating the query process.

I am particularly interested in:

1. Handling of nested documents and arrays.

Any guidance or example patterns would be greatly appreciated!

 {
      "_id": {
        "$oid": "66c883a5e6ddbf5f720ae1b6"
      },
      "name": "Some Name",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "age": 48,
      "nestedArr": [
        {
          "id": 7032086,
          "value": "apple0",
          "isDeleted": false
        },
        {

          "value": "apple0",
          "isDeleted": true
        },
        {

          "value": "apple0",
          "isDeleted": false
        },

        }
      ],
      "isDeleted": true,
    }
