If my extension editor has create a DataSource, is there a way for it to delete it as well?

 

Here is the documentation URLs that I looked for a delete method in:

https://developer.lucid.co/reference/dataproxy-sdk https://developer.lucid.co/reference/datasourceproxy-sdk https://developer.lucid.co/reference/collectionproxy-sdk https://developer.lucid.co/reference/dataitemproxy-sdk

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Dan,

 

You shouldn’t have to worry about deleting data sources, as they will be cleaned up per document. I would instead just delete any items you don’t want to work with, or ignore it and create a new data source.

 

Thanks,

Connor

@Connor B  ​@quodsimDan I think being able to delete datasources will be helpful.

I think also being able to delete collections of datasources will also be helpful.

The only turn around now is to manually delete them in the Data linking window which is to the responsibility of the user but not of the developer unfortunately.
