Entity Framework Extensions PreBulkDelete

Description

The PreBulkDelete event is raised as soon as the BulkDelete method is called and no configuration or anything else is done before. It allows you to set some global configuration for BulkDelete.

Example

The following example softly deletes the list of customers by updating the IsDeleted to true and clearing the list.

EntityFrameworkManager.PreBulkDelete = (ctx, obj) => 
{
    var list = obj as IEnumerable<Customer>;

    foreach (var customer in list)
    {
        customer.IsDeleted = true;
    }

    ctx.BulkUpdate(list);

    ((List<Customer>)obj).Clear();
};

Try it in EF Core | Try it in EF6

• In the PreBulkDelete event, the IsDeleted is set to true and the obj list is cleared (list of customers).
• So that BulkDelete doesn't delete the data from the database permanently.
