REQUIREMENTS

This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.

INSTALLATION

• Install the Entity Reference Purger module as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. Visit https://www.drupal.org/node/1897420 for further information.

CONFIGURATION

For config fields (fields added via Manage fields UI):

• Go to an entity reference field settings, for example: '/admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields/node.article.field_tags' and check the 'Remove orphaned entity references' checkbox.
• If you have a lot of dangling references you might want to also enable the 'Use queue' option for performance reasons.

For base fields:

• Add the following code to your base field definition:

->setSetting('entity_reference_purger', [
  'remove_orphaned' => TRUE,
  'use_queue' => FALSE,
]);
