Deleting an item in a RESTful API is similar to a fetch. You mostly need to somehow specify the item to delete. This is usually done by way of a unique ID or key. Learn how to map the DELETE request from the client to the endpoint through the integration step. From there, you can determine if a 200 response is successful and return a hard-coded JSON response.
- [Instructor] So the next RESTful API method…we're gonna tackle is the DELETE.…And normally we might move on to the HOST,…however the DELETE is much more like the GET…and we wanna build on that model that we've been using.…So we'll do a lot of the same types of steps,…but we're gonna add a couple as well.…So we're gonna add the DELETE method…on the resource we wanna delete,…in this case it'll be the same as we did with the GET…where we have the URL with the item ID.…We're gonna build a model for the response that'll…just contain success or fail,…and then we'll use that in the method response…and integrate that to map what we get back…from the server to our model.…
So we're gonna create the DELETE method on the music item,…then we're gonna create the model with success…as a Boolean property, then we'll use that model…in the method and integration response.…So back at our API, we're gonna select the item ID resource…and from the actions we'll create a new method for DELETE.…When we check the box, we'll get our options.…
