ruby rails delete all of a model in console
To delete all instances of a model in Ruby on Rails console, you can follow these steps:
- Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to your Rails application directory.
- Run the Rails console by typing
rails console
orrails c
in the terminal and press Enter. - Once the console is open, type the following command to load the model you want to delete instances from:
model_name = YourModelName
ReplaceYourModelName
with the actual name of your model. - To delete all instances of the model, use the
destroy_all
method. Type the following command:model_name.destroy_all
- Press Enter to execute the command. This will delete all instances of the model from the database.
Note: Make sure you have a backup or are certain that you want to delete all instances of the model, as this action cannot be undone.
