# Phase 5: Entity Deletions Through Sacred Pipeline - COMPLETE
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Complete
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-11-08
|
||||
**Phase:** 5 of 5 (Sacred Pipeline Entity Operations)
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Successfully implemented entity deletion functionality through the Sacred Pipeline for all entity types (Parks, Rides, Companies, RideModels). All DELETE operations now flow through the ContentSubmission → Moderation → Approval workflow, completing the Sacred Pipeline implementation for CRUD operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Previous Phases
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Phase 1**: Sacred Pipeline foundation fixes (submission types, polymorphic approval)
|
||||
- ✅ **Phase 2**: Entity submission services (BaseEntitySubmissionService with create/update methods)
|
||||
- ✅ **Phase 3**: Entity creation (POST endpoints use submission services)
|
||||
- ✅ **Phase 4**: Entity updates (PUT/PATCH endpoints use submission services)
|
||||
- ✅ **Phase 5**: Entity deletions (DELETE endpoints use submission services) - **THIS PHASE**
|
||||
|
||||
## Deletion Strategy Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
### Soft Delete (Default)
|
||||
**Entities with status field:** Park, Ride
|
||||
- Sets entity status to 'closed'
|
||||
- Preserves data in database for audit trail
|
||||
- Can be restored by changing status
|
||||
- Maintains relationships and history
|
||||
- Default behavior for entities with status fields
|
||||
|
||||
### Hard Delete
|
||||
**Entities without status field:** Company, RideModel
|
||||
- Removes entity from database completely
|
||||
- More destructive, harder to reverse
|
||||
- Used when entity has no status field for soft delete
|
||||
- May break foreign key relationships (consider cascading)
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Logic
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Entities WITH status field (Park, Ride)
|
||||
deletion_type='soft' # Sets status='closed'
|
||||
|
||||
# Entities WITHOUT status field (Company, RideModel)
|
||||
deletion_type='hard' # Removes from database
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. BaseEntitySubmissionService (`apps/entities/services/__init__.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Added `delete_entity_submission()` method:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@classmethod
|
||||
@transaction.atomic
|
||||
def delete_entity_submission(cls, entity, user, **kwargs):
|
||||
"""
|
||||
Delete (or soft-delete) an existing entity through Sacred Pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
Args:
|
||||
entity: Existing entity instance to delete
|
||||
user: User requesting the deletion
|
||||
**kwargs: deletion_type, deletion_reason, source, ip_address, user_agent
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
tuple: (ContentSubmission, deletion_applied: bool)
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
- Supports both soft and hard delete
|
||||
- Creates entity snapshot for potential restoration
|
||||
- Non-moderators restricted to soft delete only
|
||||
- Moderators can perform hard delete
|
||||
- Creates ContentSubmission with type='delete'
|
||||
- Stores deletion metadata (type, reason, snapshot)
|
||||
- Moderator bypass: immediate application
|
||||
- Regular users: submission enters moderation queue
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. ModerationService (`apps/moderation/services.py`)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated `approve_submission()` to handle deletion approval:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
elif submission.submission_type == 'delete':
|
||||
deletion_type = submission.metadata.get('deletion_type', 'soft')
|
||||
|
||||
if deletion_type == 'soft':
|
||||
# Soft delete: Apply status change to 'closed'
|
||||
for item in items:
|
||||
if item.field_name == 'status':
|
||||
setattr(entity, 'status', 'closed')
|
||||
item.approve(reviewer)
|
||||
entity.save()
|
||||
else:
|
||||
# Hard delete: Remove from database
|
||||
for item in items:
|
||||
item.approve(reviewer)
|
||||
entity.delete()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Handles:**
|
||||
- Soft delete: Sets status='closed', saves entity
|
||||
- Hard delete: Removes entity from database
|
||||
- Marks all submission items as approved
|
||||
- Logs deletion type and entity ID
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. DELETE Endpoints Updated
|
||||
|
||||
#### Parks (`api/v1/endpoints/parks.py`)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@router.delete("/{park_id}",
|
||||
response={200: dict, 202: dict, 404: ErrorResponse, 400: ErrorResponse, 401: ErrorResponse})
|
||||
@require_auth
|
||||
def delete_park(request, park_id: UUID):
|
||||
submission, deleted = ParkSubmissionService.delete_entity_submission(
|
||||
entity=park,
|
||||
user=user,
|
||||
deletion_type='soft', # Park has status field
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rides (`api/v1/endpoints/rides.py`)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@router.delete("/{ride_id}",
|
||||
response={200: dict, 202: dict, 404: ErrorResponse, 400: ErrorResponse, 401: ErrorResponse})
|
||||
@require_auth
|
||||
def delete_ride(request, ride_id: UUID):
|
||||
submission, deleted = RideSubmissionService.delete_entity_submission(
|
||||
entity=ride,
|
||||
user=user,
|
||||
deletion_type='soft', # Ride has status field
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Companies (`api/v1/endpoints/companies.py`)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@router.delete("/{company_id}",
|
||||
response={200: dict, 202: dict, 404: ErrorResponse, 400: ErrorResponse, 401: ErrorResponse})
|
||||
@require_auth
|
||||
def delete_company(request, company_id: UUID):
|
||||
submission, deleted = CompanySubmissionService.delete_entity_submission(
|
||||
entity=company,
|
||||
user=user,
|
||||
deletion_type='hard', # Company has NO status field
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### RideModels (`api/v1/endpoints/ride_models.py`)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@router.delete("/{model_id}",
|
||||
response={200: dict, 202: dict, 404: ErrorResponse, 400: ErrorResponse, 401: ErrorResponse})
|
||||
@require_auth
|
||||
def delete_ride_model(request, model_id: UUID):
|
||||
submission, deleted = RideModelSubmissionService.delete_entity_submission(
|
||||
entity=model,
|
||||
user=user,
|
||||
deletion_type='hard', # RideModel has NO status field
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## API Response Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Moderator Response (200)
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"message": "Park deleted successfully",
|
||||
"entity_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"deletion_type": "soft"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Regular User Response (202)
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"submission_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"status": "pending",
|
||||
"message": "Park deletion request pending moderation. You will be notified when it is approved.",
|
||||
"entity_id": "uuid"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Responses
|
||||
- **400**: ValidationError, deletion failed
|
||||
- **401**: Authentication required
|
||||
- **404**: Entity not found
|
||||
|
||||
## Deletion Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### For Moderators
|
||||
1. User makes DELETE request with authentication
|
||||
2. `delete_entity_submission()` creates ContentSubmission
|
||||
3. Moderator bypass activates immediately
|
||||
4. ModerationService approves submission
|
||||
5. Deletion applied (soft or hard based on entity type)
|
||||
6. Returns 200 with deletion confirmation
|
||||
7. Entity marked as deleted (or removed from database)
|
||||
|
||||
### For Regular Users
|
||||
1. User makes DELETE request with authentication
|
||||
2. `delete_entity_submission()` creates ContentSubmission
|
||||
3. Submission enters 'pending' status
|
||||
4. Returns 202 with submission ID
|
||||
5. Moderator reviews submission later
|
||||
6. On approval: deletion applied
|
||||
7. User notified via email
|
||||
|
||||
## Submission Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Stored in `ContentSubmission.metadata`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
{
|
||||
'entity_type': 'park',
|
||||
'entity_id': 'uuid',
|
||||
'entity_name': 'Cedar Point',
|
||||
'deletion_type': 'soft', # or 'hard'
|
||||
'deletion_reason': 'User-provided reason',
|
||||
'entity_snapshot': {
|
||||
# Complete entity field values for restoration
|
||||
'name': 'Cedar Point',
|
||||
'park_type': 'theme_park',
|
||||
'status': 'operating',
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Submission Items
|
||||
|
||||
For soft delete:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
'field_name': 'status',
|
||||
'field_label': 'Status',
|
||||
'old_value': 'operating',
|
||||
'new_value': 'closed',
|
||||
'change_type': 'modify'
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
'field_name': '_deletion_marker',
|
||||
'field_label': 'Deletion Request',
|
||||
'old_value': 'active',
|
||||
'new_value': 'closed',
|
||||
'change_type': 'modify'
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For hard delete:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
'field_name': '_deletion_marker',
|
||||
'field_label': 'Deletion Request',
|
||||
'old_value': 'active',
|
||||
'new_value': 'deleted',
|
||||
'change_type': 'remove'
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security & Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication Required
|
||||
All DELETE endpoints require authentication via `@require_auth` decorator.
|
||||
|
||||
### Moderator Privileges
|
||||
- Can perform both soft and hard deletes
|
||||
- Deletions applied immediately (bypass moderation)
|
||||
- Hard delete restricted to moderators only
|
||||
|
||||
### Regular User Restrictions
|
||||
- Can only request soft deletes
|
||||
- All deletion requests enter moderation queue
|
||||
- Hard delete attempts downgraded to soft delete
|
||||
- Email notification on approval/rejection
|
||||
|
||||
## Logging
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive logging throughout deletion process:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Deletion request
|
||||
logger.info(f"Park deletion request: entity={park.id}, user={user.email}, type=soft")
|
||||
|
||||
# Submission created
|
||||
logger.info(f"Park deletion submission created: {submission.id} (status: pending)")
|
||||
|
||||
# Moderator bypass
|
||||
logger.info(f"Moderator bypass activated for deletion submission {submission.id}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Deletion applied
|
||||
logger.info(f"Park soft-deleted (marked as closed): {park.id}")
|
||||
logger.info(f"Company hard-deleted from database: {company.id}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Foreign Key Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential Cascading Issues
|
||||
- **Parks**: Deleting a park affects related rides
|
||||
- **Companies**: Deleting a company affects related parks and rides
|
||||
- **RideModels**: Deleting a model affects related rides
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
1. Add deletion validation to check for related entities
|
||||
2. Show warnings before allowing deletion
|
||||
3. Consider cascade vs. protect on foreign keys
|
||||
4. Soft delete preferred to maintain relationships
|
||||
|
||||
