Trying to purge users from command line `node purge.js user`.

[MoJo]

I am writing a small program in python to remove bots from forum. Learning node.js and redis from about 2 days from now on but couldn't figure it out how to use build in module nodebb/src/posts/delete.js Posts.purge.

So my question is, is it possible to remove user and all its content from command line?

All my tries failed, and I am not sure how code suppose to look like.

You will have to init the database and then load the required module. Here is some sample code. As always make a backup of your database before running it.

var nconf = require('nconf');

nconf.file({
	file: 'config.json'
});

var db = require('./src/database');

db.init(function(err) {
	if (err) {
		console.log('NodeBB could not connect to your database. returned the following error: ' + err.message);
		process.exit();
	}

	var userIdToDelete = '123';
	var callerUid = 0;
	var user = require('./src/user');
	user.delete(callerUid, userIdToDelete, function (err) {
		if (err) {
			console.log(err.message);
			return process.exit();
		}
		console.log('user id ' + userIdToDelete + ' deleted');
		process.exit();
	});
});

You would place this in a file in the root of your nodebb installation and run it with node filename.js. You can modify the userIdToDelete variable to delete a user by uid.
