Automatically remove referencing objects on deletion in MongoDB

by

You can add your own 'remove' Mongoose middleware on the Person schema to remove that person from all other documents that reference it. In your middleware function, this is the Person document that’s being removed.

Person.pre('remove', function(next) {
    // Remove all the assignment docs that reference the removed person.
    this.model('Assignment').remove({ person: this._id }, next);
});
