Drupal 8: delete all nodes of the same type

Question

I have a need to remove all nodes of the same type in Drupal 8 (there are over 7k of nodes).

It wouldn\'t be a problem for Drupal 7 (DB query + node_del

Answer 1

Drupal 8 has the functionality to get nodes by content type, so I would use

$nodes = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()
    ->getStorage('node')
    ->loadByProperties(array('type' => 'your_content_type'));

foreach ($nodes as $node) {
    $node->delete();
}
