README
Deleteable provides a way to flag a database record as deleteable or not deleteable. I created this CakePHP Behavior with the need to be able to set a tinyint(1) "delete" field in my database and set it to true or false (0 or 1). The plugin is flexible, you can set your own field name as long as it stores a boolean value. You can also specify the value on which the delete is blocked or not. So you could have the DeleteableBehavior work when it's true and not when false (default behavior is false). The reason you might want to do this when you name your Deletable field to say "locked" and hence you might want to have "locked" field set to 1 (or true), in other words "locked" records can not be deleted because they are "locked" = true.
Requirements
The master branch has the following requirements:
- CakePHP 2.2.0 or greater.
- PHP 5.3.0 or greater.
Installation
[Using Composer]
From your command line you can enter
composer require justinatack/deleteable="*"
or add the plugin to your project's composer.json
- something like this:
{ "require": { "justinatack/deleteable": "*" } }
Because this plugin has the type cakephp-plugin
set in it's own composer.json
, composer knows to install it inside your /Plugin
directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add /Plugin/Deleteable
to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)
Consider using "require-dev" if you only want to include Deleteable for your development environment.
[Manual]
- Download the Deleteable archive.
- Unzip that download.
- Rename the resulting folder to
Deleteable
- Then copy this folder into
app/Plugin/
[GIT Submodule]
In your app directory type:
git submodule add git://github.com/justinatack/deleteable.git Plugin/Deleteable git submodule init git submodule update
[GIT Clone]
In your plugin directory type
git clone git://github.com/justinatack/deleteable.git Deleteable
Enable plugin
- In 2.x you need to enable the plugin your
app/Config/bootstrap.php
file. If you are already usingCakePlugin::loadAll();
, then the following is not necessary.:
CakePlugin::load('Deleteable');
- Include the Deleteable behavior in your
app/Model/AppModel.php
:
class AppModel extends Model { public $actsAs = array( 'Deleteable.Deleteable', array( 'field' => 'delete', 'boolean' => false ) ); }
- Set
field
to your database field name that you want checked by the DeleteableBehavior. Default field is set to "delete". Make sure you create a TINYINT(1) field type in MySQL. - Set the 'boolean' value to false for default behavior or use true to flip the behavior.
- By default a boolean value of '0' will prevent a record from being deleted. A value of '1' will allow a record to be deleted. Set 'boolean' to 'true' to invert this behavior.
