  • Method Details

    • save

      Start a deferred save command chain. Allows you to save (or re-save) entity objects. Note that all command chain objects are immutable.

      Saves do NOT cascade; if you wish to save an object graph, you must save each individual entity.

      A quick example: ofy().defer().save().entities(e1, e2, e3);

      All command objects are immutable; this method returns a new object rather than modifying the current command object.

      Returns:
      the next step in the immutable command chain.
    • delete

      DeferredDeleter delete()

      Start a deferred delete command chain. Lets you delete entities or keys.

      Deletes do NOT cascade; if you wish to delete an object graph, you must delete each individual entity.

      A quick example: ofy().defer().delete().entities(e1, e2, e3);

      All command objects are immutable; this method returns a new object rather than modifying the current command object.

      Returns:
      the next step in the immutable command chain.
