SoftDeleteableListenerExtensionBundle

Extensions to Gedmo's softDeleteable listener which has had this issue reported since 2012 : https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/issues/505.

Provides the onSoftDelete functionality to an association of a doctrine entity. This functionality behaves like the SQL onDelete function (when the owner side is deleted). It will prevent Doctrine errors when a reference is soft-deleted.

Cascade delete the entity

To (soft-)delete an entity when its parent record is soft-deleted :

 @Evence\onSoftDelete(type="CASCADE")

Set reference to null (instead of deleting the entity)

 @Evence\onSoftDelete(type="SET NULL")

Replace reference by some property marked as successor (must be of same entity class)

 @Evence\onSoftDelete(type="SUCCESSOR")

Entity example

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo;
use Evence\Bundle\SoftDeleteableExtensionBundle\Mapping\Annotation as Evence;

/*
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="AppBundle\Entity\AdvertisementRepository")
 * @Gedmo\SoftDeleteable(fieldName="deletedAt")
 */
class Advertisement
{

    ...

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="AppBundle\Entity\Shop")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="shop_id", referencedColumnName="id")
     * @Evence\onSoftDelete(type="CASCADE")
     */
    private $shop;
