No way to access the deleted objects on collection notifications

[mrackwitz]

The docs state this isn't possible yet, but support for this would be coming soon. I haven't found any issue tracking this though.

  // Update UI in response to deleted objects
  changes.deletions.forEach((index) => {
    // Deleted objects cannot be accessed directly
    // Support for accessing deleted objects coming soon...
    ...
  });

Do you need this in the context of the global notifier? If so it exposes the old Realm in which case you should be able to access deleted objects from the old realm.

Initially I thought to use plain collection notifications on a synced Realm, but I'm now relying on the global listener instead as a workaround. This is good for now and not blocking me in any way.

Found the answer var oldRealm = changeEvent.oldRealm.objects("RealmObject"); let deletedTask = oldRealm[index];

We should expose this in our docs @bigfish24

We need to take up #5081 again
