This extension cleans your Spree database from unneeded data. When your website grows, it could be useful to delete these old records to improve database performance.
Important notice: This extension can delete a lot of stuff from your database. It is thought to be used with some default Spree behaviors so be sure to know what you are doing, expecially if your app has a lot of custom stuff!
By default incomplete orders are kept even if they are not completed. This extension searches for incomplete orders and deletes them and their dependent association instances:
- line items
- payments
- shipments
- return authorizations
- adjustments
Add the gem to your Gemfile:
gem 'spree_garbage_cleaner', :git => 'git://github.com/nebulab/spree-garbage-cleaner.git'Run bundle:
bundleTo verify presence of garbage in your database run the stats rake task:
rake db:garbage:stats
To delete garbage from your database run the cleanup rake task:
rake db:garbage:cleanup
For each model that collects garbage records you can choose after how many days those records are marked as garbage. Default value is 7 (one week). To change this default value you can run from the rails console:
Spree::GarbageCleaner::Config.set(:cleanup_days_interval, 10)By default, an item is flagged as garbage if the created_at date is older than
the interval. This can be changed to use updated_at (or any other datetime
field) by setting the config variable:
Spree::GarbageCleaner::Config.set(:timestamp_column, 'updated_at')You can setup a cronjob that periodically runs the cleanup rake task for you. Just add the whenever gem to your Gemfile and this to your config/schedule.rb:
every 1.day, :at => '5:00 am' do
rake "-s db:garbage:cleanup"
end
Be sure to bundle your dependencies and then create a dummy test app for the specs to run against.
$ bundle
$ bundle exec rake test_app
$ bundle exec rspec spec
