Gem ConfirmDestroyAll

A Rails gem that overrides ActiveRecord's destroy_all method to ask for confirmation before deleting all records using .destroy_all.

The purpose of the gem is to provide you with a confirmation screen to avoid deleting all records from the database. The idea is to prevent the .destroy_all command from being executed in a PRODUCTION environment.

Add this line to your Gemfile:

group :production do
  gem 'confirm_destroy_all'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

When you are in a Ruby console and need to destroy multiple records, run rails console:

$ rails console

Loading production environment (Rails 7.0.6)

irb(main):001> MyModel.destroy_all

You are in the PRODUCTION environment:
Are you sure you want to destroy all records for MyModel? Type 'yes' to proceed:

This will prevent you from running .destroy_all in a production environment without first confirming that this is what you really want.

To run all rspec tests:

$ spec
