Updating the UI for relational batch deletions

Let's say I have an entity that's related to a lot of other entities. If I delete it, I need to paginate through multiple tables to delete the relations first, so I schedule those.

Currently I'm setting
isDeleted: true
isDeleted: true
on the entity being deleted, which allows me to update the UI right away for the immediate action.

In places where related data is being fetched (often paginated), however, I don't see a great way to index/filter for this in queries, so filtering the result based on a list of "deleted" foreign keys is my best bet it seems, which could make paginating odd when large chunks or even entire pages are missing in the filtered result.

Just checking to see if I'm missing a better way here.

Obviously the golden ticket here is full on relationship support with cascading deletes, but something that could help in the meantime:
q.in()
q.in()
/
q.nin()
q.nin()
support for filters. This way I could provide a list of ids to filter out for the foreign key field.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
