Description
This is not a problem.
I'm frustrated when deleting a HiveObject with HiveLists. When deleting the HiveObject I need to create code to traverse all it's HiveLists to delete the content of these lists.
I would like to have a parameter like **recursive:** in Box's **delete** operation and the hive_builder could generate **delete**s in the content of all HiveObject's HiveLists recursively, for example, if the HiveList contains a HiveObject with HiveLists, those HiveLists will also be removed recursively. I know that there is a **deleteAllFromHive** and I use it a lot, but it is also not recursive and would probably be a candidate to also have its own **recursive:** parameter. And to prevent some HiveLists from being removed recursively, a **recursive:** parameter could also be added to the marker **@ HiveField** to prevent a recursive operation on this specific list when its value is false, allowing for recursive and non-recursive exclusions. on the same HiveObject.
As an alternative I always create the code for each of the HiveList in the HiveObject and, because the Dart mirror library is unstable, this makes a generalization of the delete operation of the application created HiveObject a very difficult operation.
