Check if record was just destroyed in rails

You can do this.

Record.exists?(record.id)

However that will do a hit on the database which isn't always necessary. The only other solution I know is to do a callback as theIV mentioned.

attr_accessor :destroyed
after_destroy :mark_as_destroyed
def mark_as_destroyed
  self.destroyed = true
end

And then check record.destroyed.

Just do it:

record.destroyed?

Details are here ActiveRecord::Persistence
