How can I implement a soft delete instead of a hard delete?

You can use the updateOne method to set a 'deleted_at' timestamp on a record, allowing you to filter out 'deleted' items from queries while keeping the data for recovery.

How do I handle foreign key constraint errors during deletion?

The skill provides a manual cascade delete pattern where you delete or unlink child records (e.g., comments or posts) before attempting to delete the parent record (e.g., a user).

What is the difference between deleteOne and deleteMany in the Bknd SDK?

deleteOne targets a specific record by its unique ID, while deleteMany uses a 'where' clause to filter and remove multiple records simultaneously.

Is a 'where' clause required for bulk deletions?

Yes, Bknd requires a 'where' clause in deleteMany to prevent accidental mass deletion of entire datasets.

API Development

Streamlines record deletion in Bknd.io by providing standardized patterns for single, bulk, and soft deletes via SDK or REST API.

About

The Bknd CRUD Delete skill is a comprehensive guide for managing data removal within the Bknd.io ecosystem. It equips developers with the necessary patterns to handle everything from simple record IDs to complex bulk deletions using filter criteria. Beyond basic operations, the skill focuses on production safety by detailing soft delete implementations, manual cascading for related entities, and verification steps to prevent accidental data loss. Whether you are building user-facing React components with deletion logic or backend maintenance scripts, this skill ensures your data lifecycle management is secure, efficient, and consistent with Bknd best practices.
