Delete mutation

Devtools ComposeDB

I know the deletion is not supported currently, but my app needs this and I am seeking the best solution to deal with this requirement.
I have Profile and Follow models, when a profile follows another, a follow data is created, but when they unfollow, we cannot delete that follow so the relation and relation count are now incorrect. I am not sure what is the best way to deal with this problem.
I ended up adding a “status” property in the Follow model and set it to “ACTIVE” on created, and when the user unfollows, update it to “INACTIVE”, and on the UI I filter out the “INACTIVE” items. This works, but the UI has to do the heavy logic and I am looking for a better solution. Any suggestions? Please.

Here are the models.

type Profile
  @createModel(
    accountRelation: SINGLE
    description: "A profile of an account"
  ) {
  name: String! @string(minLength: 3, maxLength: 64)
}

type Follow
  @createModel(accountRelation: LIST, description: "A follow of a profile") {
  followerId: StreamID! @documentReference(model: "Profile")
  follower: Profile! @relationDocument(property: "followerId")
  followingId: StreamID! @documentReference(model: "Profile")
  following: Profile! @relationDocument(property: "followingId")
  status: Status!
}

enum Status {
   ACTIVE
   INACTIVE
}

And this is the relation.

type Follow @loadModel(id: "$FOLLOW_ID") {
  id: ID!
}

type Profile @loadModel(id: "$PROFILE_ID") {
  followers: [Follow]! @relationFrom(model: "Follow", property: "followerId")
  followersCount: Int! @relationCountFrom(model: "Follow", property: "followerId")
  following: [Follow]! @relationFrom(model: "Follow", property: "followingId")
  followingCount: Int! @relationCountFrom(model: "Follow", property: "followingId")
}
