Hook not being called from association destroy

I’m using the following calls to generate assoications:

models.Post.hasMany(models.Photo, {as: 'photos', foreignKey: 'post_id', onDelete: 'cascade', hooks: true});
models.Photo.belongsTo(models.Post, {as: 'post', foreignKey: 'post_id', onDelete: 'cascade', hooks: true});

and I have the following hook set up in the Photo model definition:

return sequelize.define('Photo', {
    id: {
      type: 'UUID',
      primaryKey: true,
      allowNull: false
    },
    post_id: {
      type: 'UUID',
      allowNull: false,
    }
  },
  {
    hooks:{
      afterDestroy: function(photo, options) {
        utils.deletePhotos([photo.id]);
      }
    },
    tableName: 'photos'
  });

However when I call:

models.Post.destroy({where: {id: req.params.id}, individualHooks: true});

the photo rows are deleted in the database but the hook is not being called.

Any idea why this might be happening?

I looked in the source and realized that the cascading effect is only triggered through the instance destroy, not the model destroy.

After switching it, it works.

The docs might want to be more clear regarding that though.

individualHooks http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/latest/api/model/#destroyoptions-promiseinteger

I didn’t get it… the first question utilizes that boolean value, unsuccesfully… then the user Flexelektro says it’s working… i don’t get it…

To me, the individual hooks value doesn’t work, never did.
