Delete action

Introduction

DeleteAction permanently removes a record after confirmation. Defaults: name delete, label Delete, trash icon, danger color, confirmation on.

app/orbit/resources/post_resource.py

from almasix.orbit.actions import DeleteAction

DeleteAction.make()
    .action(lambda record, **_: delete_post(record))

Default modal copy:

• Heading: Delete?
• Description: This permanently removes the record.

Override with .modal_heading / .modal_description / .modal_submit_action_label.

Without confirmation

Only when you truly need an immediate delete (rare):

app/orbit/actions/delete_no_confirm.py

from almasix.orbit.actions import DeleteAction

DeleteAction.make().without_confirmation()

Danger actions otherwise always confirm — Conduit-safe.

Bulk delete

DeleteBulkAction targets the selected set. Defaults: name delete_bulk, label Delete selected, same danger + confirmation pattern.

app/orbit/resources/post_resource.py

from almasix.orbit.actions import DeleteBulkAction

table.bulk_actions([
    DeleteBulkAction.make()
        .chunk_selected_records(100)
        .authorize_individual_records()
        .action(lambda records, **_: delete_many(records)),
])

Bulk helpers on BulkAction:

Method	Role
.chunk_selected_records	Process in batches
.fetch_selected_records	Host should hydrate models (default True)
.authorize_individual_records	Per-row authorize before delete

Lifecycle

    .using(lambda record, **_: hard_delete(record))
