Bulk update records
This example shows how to bulk update users
Please be sure of your agent type and version and pick the right documentation accordingly.
This is the documentation of the forest-express-sequelize
and forest-express-mongoose
Node.js agents that will soon reach end-of-support.
forest-express-sequelize
v9 and forest-express-mongoose
v9 are replaced by @forestadmin/agent
v1.
Please check your agent type and version and read on or switch to the right documentation.
Anonymize users in bulk
As usual, you must declare the action on your collection.
// forest/users.js
const Liana = require('forest-express-sequelize');
Liana.collection('users', {
actions: [
{
name: 'Anonymize',
type: 'single',
},
],
});
ou can then implement the post action as you need. Here the records are simply updated in bulk through the sequelize
ORM.
// routes/users.js
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const models = require('../models');
const {
ensureAuthenticated,
RecordsGetter,
} = require('forest-express-sequelize');
router.post(
'/actions/anonymize',
ensureAuthenticated,
parseRequestBody,
async (request, response) => {
const { query, user } = request;
const recordsGetter = new RecordsGetter(models.user, user, query);
const records = await recordsGetter.getAll();
try {
await models.user.update(
{
firstName: '*** Anonymized First Name ***',
lastName: '*** Anonymized Last Name ***',
},
{ where: { id: records.map((record) => record.id) } }
);
response.send({ success: 'User(s) anonymized' });
} catch (e) {
return response
.status(400)
.send({ error: `Failure during user anonymization: ${e.message}` });
}
}
);
module.exports = router;
