Dependent Associations

If an association is set as being dependent, when the parent object is deleted, all of the associated objects that belong to it will be deleted, too.

In the following example, if a List object is deleted, all of its ListItems will be deleted, too.

<?php
class List extends MvcModel {

  var $has_many = array(
    'ListItem' => array(
      'dependent' => true
    )
  );

}
?>
