Bånderapp:artist:delete
Delete an artist, its song and album credits, and its cover image. The command does what DELETE /api/artists/{publicId} does in the admin API, through the same use case.
Quick start
make exec cmd="php bin/console app:artist:delete V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT"
Without a terminal, for example in a script:
make exec cmd="php bin/console app:artist:delete V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT --force"
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
public-id |
Yes | The artist's public ID, as the API and the web app show it |
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--force |
Delete without asking; required when no terminal is attached |
--json |
Print the API response's data payload: the counts of deleted artists and cover images |
Details
On a terminal the command asks before it deletes anything. Without a terminal and without --force it deletes nothing and exits with code 2. --json does not stand in for --force.
The artist and its credits are deleted; the songs and albums stay. After that, the cover image record, its file and its derived files are deleted. This cannot be undone.
Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Artist deleted |
| 1 | No artist has the public ID, the operator declined, or another error occurred; the message says why |
| 2 | The public ID is malformed, or no terminal is attached and --force was not given; nothing was deleted |
