I'm having trouble getting Sequelize.js to soft delete the rows in my table. I used Sequelize cli to do all my migrations and I'm not using the sync feature to resync the database on start. I have the timestamp fields and even the deletedAt field in my migration and models (model has paranoid: true also) and no matter what it still deletes the row instead of adding a timestamp to the deletedAt field. I noticed when do any querying it doesn't add the deletedAt = NULL in the query like I've seen in some tutorials. I'm using Sequelize.js v3.29.0.
Model File:
'use strict';
module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
var Collection = sequelize.define('Collection', {
userId: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
allowNull: false,
validate: {
isInt: true
}
},
name: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
description: DataTypes.TEXT,
createdAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: DataTypes.DATE
},
updatedAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: DataTypes.DATE
},
deletedAt: {
type: DataTypes.DATE
}
}, {
classMethods: {
associate: function(models) {
Collection.belongsTo(models.User, { foreignKey: 'userId' })
}
}
}, {
timestamps: true,
paranoid: true
});
return Collection;
};
Migration File:
'use strict';
module.exports = {
up: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
return queryInterface.createTable('Collections', {
id: {
allowNull: false,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true,
type: Sequelize.INTEGER
},
userId: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.INTEGER
},
name: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.STRING
},
description: {
type: Sequelize.TEXT
},
createdAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
},
updatedAt: {
allowNull: false,
type: Sequelize.DATE
},
deletedAt: {
type: Sequelize.DATE
}
});
},
down: function(queryInterface, Sequelize) {
return queryInterface.dropTable('Collections');
}
};
Here is the code in the controller I'm using to destroy the collection object.
Collection.findOne({
where: {
id: collectionId,
userId: user.id
}
}).then(function(collection){
if (collection !== null) {
collection.destroy().then(function(){
res.redirect('/collection');
}).catch(function(error){
res.redirect('/collection/'+collectionId);
});
}
});
