VistasHow can I cascade delete with one-to-many relation in typeORM?
I have group and contact entities in OneToMany relationship. I add contacts within the group. When I want to delete, I want both sides of the database to be deleted. but only the group table is deleted.
here's contact.entity
Here's one to many relationship:
here's group.entity
The function I wrote in the service is as follows:
I tried many solutions by searching. Adding cascades on both sides, I know this isn't right, but I wanted to try, but I couldn't get it to work.

you are using it wrong way.
If you hover to softDelete function, you will see it need props like: (method) Repository<Group>.softDelete(criteria: string | number | Date | ObjectID | string[] | FindConditions<Group> | number[] | Date[] | ObjectID[]
which mean you have to use it like :
getRepository(Group).softDelete({ id: groupId})
same as update function:
getRepository(Group).update({id: groupId}, {name: "new name"})

Don't hard code something it can be done by the database itself. If you want all the contacts of the group to be deleted while the group is deleted then use foreign key with
on delete cascade
eg:
create table group1(
id serial primary key,
name varchar
);
create table contact(
id serial primary key,
name varchar,
group_id integer references group1 (id) on delete cascade
);
