Here are a few ideas for how you can implement this functionality:

  1. Use two arrays to store the ingredients and deleted items: You can use two separate arrays to store the ingredients and deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can remove the ingredient from the ingredients array and add it to the deleted items array. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the deleted items array and add it back to the ingredients array. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the deleted items array permanently.

  2. Use a single array with a "deleted" flag: You can use a single array to store all the items, including both ingredients and deleted items. Each item in the array can have a "deleted" flag that is set to false for ingredients and true for deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can set the "deleted" flag to true for that ingredient. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can set the "deleted" flag to false for that item. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the array permanently.

  3. Use a database to store the ingredients and deleted items: You can use a database to store the ingredients and deleted items. When a user clicks the delete button for an ingredient, you can update the database to mark that ingredient as deleted. When a user clicks the restore button for a deleted item, you can update the database to mark that item as not deleted. When a user clicks the permanent delete button for a deleted item, you can remove the item from the database permanently.
