Automatic Deletion of all tuples related to object

[lupeterm]

Hi all,
following the example model from the documentation:
A document is deleted, what would be the most openfga-ic way to delete all tuples relating to it? I.e., do I have to perform several list-user checks, one for each relation and subsequently batchremove them?
Or is there a better, perhaps automatic way?

Hi @lupeterm

You should be able to use the Read API to obtain the tuples for that object, and then delete them. Makes sense?

Hi @aaguiarz
Given

...
type document
  relations
    define viewer: [domain#member, user]
    define commenter: [domain#member, user]
    define editor: [domain#member, user]
    define owner: [domain#member, user]
...

I was wondering if there was a simpler way to delete all aside from performing four read requests to get all tuples to then delete them.
Anyhow, as it seem there is no other way this answers my question. Thanks!

Never mind my last comment. I now see that the --relation flag is not mandatory in read requests!
Imho, the documentation lacks depth in this specific aspect. Should I open an issue regarding this? @aaguiarz

Yes, please open a ticket on the https://github.com/openfga/openfga.dev repo explaining the information you were not able to find.

Thanks a lot!
