Installation

Install the package via npm:

``sh
$ npm install --save bookshelf-cascade-delete
`

Usage

Require and register the bookshelf-cascade-delete plugin:

`js
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:

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

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

If you're using the ES6 class syntax, define dependents as static property:

`js
class Author extends bookshelf.Model {
get tableName() {
return 'Author';
}

posts() {
return this.hasMany(Post);
}

static dependents = ['posts'];
}
`

Use destroy to delete your model:

`js
Author.forge({ id: 1 }).destroy();
`

A transaction is created and all the cascade queries executed:

`sql
DELETE FROM "Post" where "author_id" IN (1)
DELETE FROM "Author" where "id" IN (1)
`

You can pass an existing transaction as you would normally do:

`js
bookshelf.transaction(function(transaction) {
return Author.forge({ id: 1 }).destroy({ transacting: transaction })
}).then(function() {
return Author.forge({ id: 2 }).destroy({ transacting: transaction })
});
`

It's possible to disable the cascade delete with the cascadeDelete option:

`js
Author.forge({ id: 1 }).destroy({ cascadeDelete: false });
`

Since this plugin extends the destroy method, if you're extending or overriding it on your models make sure to call its prototype after your work is done:

`js
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']
});
`
