PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete);

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }

    fluffy.delete(function () {
        // mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }

        fluffy.restore(function () {
            // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }
        });
    });

});

Save time of deletion

var mongoose_delete = require('mongoose-delete');

var PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { deletedAt : true });

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }

    fluffy.delete(function () {
        // mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6, deletedAt: ISODate("2014-08-01T10:34:53.171Z")}

        fluffy.restore(function () {
            // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }
        });
    });

});

Who has deleted the data?

var PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongoose_delete, { deletedBy : true });

var Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

var fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }

    var idUser = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

    fluffy.delete(idUser, function () {
        // mongodb: { deleted: true, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6, deletedBy: ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf")}

        fluffy.restore(function () {
            // mongodb: { deleted: false, name: 'Fluffy', _id: 53db63bb322236e666c3d7a6 }
        });
    });

});
