[Stats Page] - Create Delete Graph Collection Endpoint

Please note, Sherpa may occasionally provide incomplete or inaccurate information. Always verify critical details and double-check suggested changes before implementation.

Summary of the Problem

The task is to create a new endpoint for soft deleting a graph collection in the statistics router at the route statistics/:graphCollectionId/delete. This endpoint will require the graph collection ID as a parameter and should include unit tests and Postman screenshots to verify functionality.

Relevant Files

statisticsRouter.js: This file should contain the routing logic for the statistics API, including the new endpoint for deleting graph collections.
graphCollectionController.js: This file will likely handle the logic for the soft delete operation, including the interaction with the database.
graphCollectionModel.js: This file may define the schema and methods for the graph collection, including the soft delete functionality.
statistics.test.js: This file will need to be updated or created to include unit tests for the new endpoint.

Guidance on Required Changes

1. statisticsRouter.js

Location: Look for the section where existing routes are defined, typically using an Express router.
Change Required: Add a new route for the soft delete operation. You can refer to existing GET routes for structure.
```
router.delete('/statistics/:graphCollectionId/delete', graphCollectionController.softDelete);
```

2. graphCollectionController.js

Location: This file should contain functions that handle requests related to graph collections.
Change Required: Implement a function for the soft delete operation. This function should:
- Validate the graphCollectionId.
- Call a method from the model to perform the soft delete.
Example skeleton:
```
exports.softDelete = async (req, res) => {
const { graphCollectionId } = req.params;
// Validate ID and perform soft delete
};
```

3. graphCollectionModel.js

Location: This file should define the data model for graph collections.
Change Required: Ensure there is a method for soft deleting a graph collection, which might involve updating a deletedAt timestamp or a similar field.

Example skeleton:
```
async function softDelete(graphCollectionId) {
// Update the collection to mark it as deleted
}
```

4. statistics.test.js

Location: This file should contain unit tests for the statistics API.
Change Required: Write tests to cover the new endpoint, ensuring it behaves as expected (e.g., returns the correct status code and response).

Example skeleton:
```
describe('DELETE /statistics/:graphCollectionId/delete', () => {
it('should soft delete the graph collection', async () => {
  // Test implementation
});
});
```

Conclusion

To implement the soft delete endpoint for the graph collection, you will need to modify the routing file to include the new endpoint, implement the logic in the controller, ensure the model supports the soft delete functionality, and write unit tests to verify the implementation. This approach will ensure that the new feature is integrated smoothly into the existing codebase while maintaining the overall architecture.
