README
Adds "soft"-delete support to CakePHP tables.
Install
Using Composer:
composer require muffin/trash
You then need to load the plugin. You can use the shell command:
bin/cake plugin load Muffin/Trash
Usage
In your table(s), add the behavior like you would for any other behavior:
// in the initialize() method $this->addBehavior('Muffin/Trash.Trash');
By default, the behavior expects your table to have a nullable DATETIME
column
named deleted
or trashed
. Or you could customize the name when adding the behavior:
// in your table's initialize() method $this->addBehavior('Muffin/Trash.Trash', [ 'field' => 'deleted_at' ]);
or, at the global level, in bootstrap.php
:
Configure::write('Muffin/Trash.field', 'deleted_at');
Finally, if you would like to keep the default cake behavior when running
find()
or delete()
operations and explicitly call the behavior when you need
'trash'-ing functionality, just disable the event(s):
// in the initialize() method $this->addBehavior('Muffin/Trash.Trash', [ 'events' => ['Model.beforeFind'] // enables the beforeFind event only, false to disable both ]);
or use the purge option:
$table->delete($entity, ['purge' => true]);
Cascading deletion
If you'd like to have related records marked as trashed when deleting a parent
item, you can just attach the behavior to the related table classes, and set the
'dependent' => true, 'cascadeCallbacks' => true
options in the table relationships.
This works on relationships where the item being deleted in the owning side of the relationship. Which means that the related table should contain the foreign key.
If you don't want to cascade on trash:
// in the initialize() method $this->addBehavior('Muffin/Trash.Trash', [ 'cascadeOnTrash' => false, ]);
Custom Finders
- onlyTrashed - helps getting only those trashed records.
- withTrashed - when filtering out the trashed records by default, this method comes in handy to have them included as part of certain calls.
Extras
- emptyTrash() - permanently deletes all trashed records.
- restoreTrash($entity = null, array $options = []) - restores one (or all) trashed records.
- cascadingRestoreTrash($entity = null, array $options = []) - restores one (or all) trashed records including those of dependent associations.
- trash($entity, array $options = []) - like
delete()
but for a soft-delete (handy whenModel.beforeDelete
is disabled by default). - trashAll(array $conditions) - like
deleteAll()
but for soft-deletes.
Patches & Features
- Fork
- Mod, fix
