Send Angular $http.delete With Body

In my Angular app, I need to send an $http.delete request this route /projects/:id/activityTypes (note it does not end with an activity type id) passing a body with the following f

Solution 1:

try this:

$http({
            method: 'DELETE',
            url: 'projects/' + projectID + '/activityTypes',
            data: [{id: 2}]},
            headers: {
                'Content-type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
            });

Solution 2:

@Renato's approach will work, but so would the $http.delete(...) approach, with a little tweaking. By including the data element in the request options, you do pass along data to the server, and you can confirm this in your Developer's Console. However, without the appropriate Content-Type, your server may likely ignore it.

The following should work:

return$http.delete('projects/' + projectID + '/activityTypes', {data: [{id: 2}], headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'}})
