'Cascade Delete in mongo
I am new to MongoDB. I created 4 collections & they are connected with each other. (I am using node.js to write it)
Here, it's my question. How can I delete all records at once? Is there something like deep level population
?
This one holds all models.
const DataModel = mongoose.Schema({
_id: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User', require: true},
order: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Order', require: true},
});
User model
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({//other stuff});
Order model
const orderSchema = mongoose.Schema({
product: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Product', required: true },
//other stuff
});
Product model
const productSchema = mongoose.Schema({//other stuff});
I can delete the entry with these code from the database, but the other entries still there
exports.delete_data = (req, res, next) => {
const id = req.params.userId;
userDataModel.deleteOne({_id: id})
.exec()
.then(docs => {
res.status(200).json({
message: 'Record Deleted',
request: {
type: 'POST'
}
});
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
res.status(500).json({
error: err
});
});
};
Update: However, I wonder, Could I call other defined delete
functions for order, product
inside delete_data

As @Geert-Jan suggest, cascade delete is my solution. The link that geert-jan gave solve my problem. However, I wonder, Could I call other defined delete
functions for order, product
inside delete_data

i did this and it could be good for someone who wants to delete documents in cascade linked to any field of a model.
async blackHole() {
try {
const rtn = new ApiResponse<any>();
const userId = id;
const accountId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(id);
var CollectionNames: any[] = [];
mongoose.connection.db.listCollections().toArray(function (err, collections) {
CollectionNames = collections.map(c => c.name);
CollectionNames.forEach((element: any) => {
mongoose.connection.db.collection(element).deleteMany({ "account": accountId });
});
});
const accountController = new AccountController(this.wsParams);
await accountController.delete(id)
await super.delete(userId);
return rtn;
} catch (error: any) {
const rtn = new ApiResponse<any>();
rtn.message = error;
rtn.success = false;
rtn.status = 422;
return rtn;
}
}
I hope you can use it :D
