SequelizeJS Soft Deleting

Question

I can't figure out how the soft deleting works with SequelizeJS and I cannot find any documentation online.

I've already setup at a deletedAt column as

deletedAt: {
    type: Sequelize.DATE
}

but I don't know how to now setup the system so that MyModel.destroy(query) soft deletes it instead. Currently, it plainly removes the entry completely.

Set options.timestamps and options.paranoid to true - then sequelize will add the deletedAt column for you, and set it instead of deleting the row
