bookshelf-cascade-delete

This Bookshelf.js plugin provides cascade delete with a simple configuration on your models.

Status

Installation

Install the package via npm:

$ npm install --save bookshelf-cascade-delete

Usage

Require and register the bookshelf-cascade-delete plugin:

var bookshelf = require('bookshelf')(knex);
var cascadeDelete = require('bookshelf-cascade-delete');

bookshelf.plugin(cascadeDelete);

Define which relations depend on your model when it's destroyed with the dependents prototype property:

var Post = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'Post'
});

var Author = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'Author',
  posts: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Post);
  }
}, {
  dependents: ['posts']
});

NOTE: This plugin extends the destroy method of Bookshelf's Model, so if you are extending or overriding it on your models make sure to call its prototype after your work is done:

var Author = bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'Author',
  posts: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Post);
  },
  destroy: function() {
    // Do some stuff.
    sendDeleteAccountEmail(this);

    // Call the destroy prototype method.
    bookshelf.Model.prototype.destroy.apply(this, arguments);
  }
}, {
  dependents: ['posts']
});
