Document Delete

The Document Delete component allows you to delete documents from the Content Store.

You can filter which documents are deleted based on the query in the configuration.

Handlebars

This component lets you use Handlebars templates. More information about Handlebars can be found in this section

Configuration

Connection string

A MongoDB connection string.

Example: mongodb://<username>:<password>@localhost:27017/<databaseName>

Here <databaseName> is the database to store content.

Use TLS

Whether or not to use TLS in case your mongoDB requires TLS.

Allow Invalid Certificates

Checking this will disable certificate validation. Warning: specifying this option in a production environment makes your application insecure and potentially vulnerable to expired certificates and to foreign processes posing as valid client instances.

Certificate Authority File

IOne or more certificate authorities to trust when making a TLS connection. In order to access the local filesystem, the XILL4_WORKDIRS environment variable must be set to the path of the directory to be accessed.

Example: .\ca.pem

Query

A valid Mongo query that can be passed in deleteMany(). Example: {"kind":"CONTAINER"}

You can use Handlebars to create dynamic queries. For nested keys, you can use the so-called dot-notation.
