1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:04,510
The delete route is going to be
a lot like the update quote route,

2
00:00:04,510 --> 00:00:08,220
only it will completely remove
the specified quote from the data store.

3
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:09,785
To create a delete route,

4
00:00:09,785 --> 00:00:14,421
we'll want to handle delete requests
sent to the slash quote slash ID route.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,986
Again, we'll need the callback to be
an asynchronous function that takes in

6
00:00:21,986 --> 00:00:23,676
the request and response objects.

7
00:00:28,518 --> 00:00:31,251
And to use the async await syntax,

8
00:00:31,251 --> 00:00:36,153
we'll need a try-catch block.bbb
Inside the catch block,

9
00:00:36,153 --> 00:00:42,011
we'll copy and paste the same error
handling code from previous videos.

10
00:00:46,086 --> 00:00:50,693
Inside the try block, we'll again get the
specified quote by grabbing the ID from

11
00:00:50,693 --> 00:00:54,382
the request parameters and
passing it to the get quote function.

12
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,798
Once we’ve got the quote
we’re looking for,

13
00:01:05,798 --> 00:01:08,470
we can use the delete quote
method from our records module.

14
00:01:13,815 --> 00:01:17,366
We'll wanna wait for the delete quote
method to finish before we send back

15
00:01:17,366 --> 00:01:19,666
the proper status message and
end the request.

16
00:01:26,678 --> 00:01:29,655
We'll send back the same
no content status message.

17
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:34,360
Let's save this and
take a peek inside of our data store.

18
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,740
From testing and such,
I have several duplicate quotes to delete.

19
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:43,592
Go to postman and send a delete request to
the ID of the quote you want to delete.

20
00:01:45,137 --> 00:01:48,229
So I want to delete quote 1492.

21
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:53,121
Send.

22
00:01:53,121 --> 00:01:54,521
And close this for now.

23
00:01:56,428 --> 00:01:59,240
Let's see if we can figure
out what went wrong here.

24
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,440
I can see I have a typo in my route.

25
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,160
So let's try this again.

26
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,500
And we've got a 204
No Content status code.

27
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:13,330
Great, let's take a look inside data.json.

28
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:15,380
And that quote is gone.

29
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:19,483
For practice, I encourage you to look
at the put route we did in a previous

30
00:02:19,483 --> 00:02:25,340
video,and implement some extra additional
error handling for our delete route.

31
00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:29,270
What if the client requests to
delete a quote that doesn't exist?

32
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:30,027
Well done.

33
00:02:30,027 --> 00:02:34,246
We now have a fully functioning rest
API with all of its cred operations.

34
00:02:34,246 --> 00:02:37,563
We can create, read,
update, and delete quotes.

35
00:02:37,563 --> 00:02:41,583
You may have noticed that we have quite
a bit of unwieldy and repeating code.

36
00:02:41,583 --> 00:02:45,088
In the next part of the course,
we'll use express middleware to clean up

37
00:02:45,088 --> 00:02:48,248
some of our repeating code,
see ways to structure our projects so

38
00:02:48,248 --> 00:02:52,760
that our code is more modular, and
learn how we can handle errors globally.

39
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,810
And of course, we'll write a route
that returns a random quote.

40
00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:56,440
I'll see you there.
