Configure cake bake to enable cascading delete

1

I am using cakephp v3.3.3

After using cake bake to auto-generate code, I have this php file BallsTable.php which has the initialize() function below;

public function initialize(array $config)
{
    parent::initialize($config);

    $this->table('balls');
    $this->displayField('id');
    $this->primaryKey('id');

    $this->belongsTo('Baskets', [
        'foreignKey' => 'basket_id',
        'joinType' => 'INNER'
    ]);
    $this->hasMany('BallRecords', [
        'foreignKey' => 'ball_id',
    ]);
}

$this->belongsTo('Baskets', [
    'foreignKey' => 'basket_id',
    'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
$this->hasMany('BallRecords', [
    'foreignKey' => 'ball_id',
]);

}

However, the above initialize() function does not allow me to do cascading delete.

I need to manually modify initialize() like below to enable cascading delete. But this is cumbersome as the file gets overwritten every time with a new cake bake.

$this->hasMany('BallRecords', [
        'foreignKey' => 'ball_id',
        //http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/deleting-data.html
        //manually add the 2 lines below to enable cascading delete
        'dependent' => true,
        'cascadeCallbacks' => true,
    ]);

Is there some way to configure cake bake to auto-generate code that manually enable cascading delete?

Yes, you can create your own plugin with bake themes. See Extending Bake

And you can use the Table Bake Template as a base
