Instance Method Details

#destroy(id) ⇒ Object Also known as: delete

Destroy an object (or multiple objects) that has the given id, the object is instantiated first, therefore all callbacks and filters are fired off before the object is deleted. This method is in-efficient since it actually has to instantiate the object just to delte it but allows cleanup methods such as the ones that remove the object from SOLR to be run.

This essentially finds the object (or multiple objects) with the given id, creates a new object from the attributes, and then calls destroy on it.

Note: this will only find objects that are matched by the current relation even if the ID would otherwise be valid.

delete is aliased to this because you can’t delete without running the requisite callbacks. (at least not yet)

Parameters

  • id - Can be either an Integer or an Array of Integers.

Examples

# Destroy a single object Todo.destroy(1)

# Destroy multiple objects todos = [1,2,3] Todo.destroy(todos)

def destroy(id)
  if id.is_a?(Array)
    ret = id.map { |one_id| destroy(one_id) }
  else
    ret = find(id).destroy
  end
  reset
  ret
end

#destroy_all(conditions = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: delete_all

Destroys the records matching conditions by instantiating each record and calling its destroy method. Each object’s callbacks are executed (including :dependent association options and before_destroy/after_destroy Observer methods). Returns the collection of objects that were destroyed; each will be frozen, to reflect that no changes should be made (since they can’t be persisted).

Note: Instantiation, callback execution, and deletion of each record can be time consuming when you’re removing many records at once. However, it is necessary to perform it this way to ensure that the SOLR index stays in sync with the Cassandra data store.

delete_all is aliased to this because you can’t delete without running the requisite callbacks. (at least not yet)

Parameters

  • conditions - A string, array, or hash that specifies which records

to destroy. If omitted, all records matching the current relation are destroyed. See the Conditions section in the introduction to DatastaxRails::Base for more information.

Examples

Person.destroy_all(:status => “inactive”) Person.where(:age => 0..18).destroy_all Person.where_not(:status => “active”).destroy_all
