Adding a DELETE route

We never added a DELETE route even tho we left a comment for ourselves

How would you go about doing that?

Thanks

The code for the completed application includes the JavaScript for adding the DELETE route. I just made a temporary directory to look at the code and it is split between the app/scripts/services/data.js file and the app/scripts/directives/todo.js file.

See the teachers notes of the following video for instructions on getting the final project https://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-a-mean-application/more-todo-with-the-mean-stack/using-angularwrapped-javascript-apis

Hi, if anyone is still looking for code to add the DELETE route, this is an option:

In the src/api/index.js file:

router.delete('/todos/:id', function(req, res) {
  var id = req.params.id;

  Todo.remove({'_id': id}, function(err, todo) {
    if (err) {
      return res.status(500).json({err: err.message});
    } else {
      res.send('Todo was deleted');
    }
  });
});

Updated the deleteTodo service located in app/scripts/services/data.js:

this.deleteTodo = function(todo) {
    $http.delete('/api/todos/' + todo._id).then(todo);
  };

Hope this helps!
