Sequelize: beforeDestroy and afterDestroy hooks not working

[haikyuu]

Here is what i tried :

var User = sequelize.define('user', {
  firstName: Sequelize.STRING,
  lastName: Sequelize.STRING
}, {
  hooks: {
    beforeDestroy: function(instance, options, cb) {
      console.log('before destroy');
      return cb();
    },
    afterDestroy: function(instance, options, cb) {
      console.log('after destroy');
      return cb();
    },
    beforeCreate: function(instance, options, cb) {
      console.log('before Create');
      return cb();
    },
    afterCreate: function(instance, options, cb) {
      console.log('after Create');
      return cb();
    }
  }
});


sequelize.sync({
  force: false
}).
then(function() {
  User.create({
    firstName: 'e',
    lastName: 'e'
  }).then(function(user) {
    return User.destroy({
      where: {
        id: user.id
      }
    });
  });
});

In the console :
before Create
Executing (default): INSERT INTO users (id,firstName,lastName,updatedAt,createdAt) VALUES (DEFAULT,'e','e','2015-04-29 15:41:46','2015-04-29 15:41:46');
after Create
Executing (default): DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 7

Before and after destroy is invoked when destroying a single instance

Use before and after bulkDestroy instead or pass individualHooks: true to destroy

Thanks for the quick reply

I would like to add this since it could be useful:

To set individualHooks to default to true ( so that you don't have to go back and manually add the params on every call to Model.destroy() )

beforeBulkDestroy: function(options){
    options.individualHooks = true;
    return options;
}
