I'm facing an issue with the delete functionality in my API. In order to use my application, a user must log in and then they can add courses. These courses are stored in a nested array within the User model. I want users to be able to remove (delete) a course from the interface and have it deleted from their profile on the server as well. Despite having identical variables, I keep receiving a 404 response.
Below is the ajax call I am using to delete a specific course:
jQuery.ajax({
url: "/test/signups/5387c1a0fb06e48f4658170c",
type: "DELETE",
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
console.log("Response:");
console.dir(data);
console.log(textStatus);
console.dir(jqXHR);
}
});
This is the delete method implementation:
app.delete('/test/signups/:id', isLoggedIn, function(req, res) {
User.findOne({'_id': req.user.id }, function(err, user) {
if (err)
return done(err);
if (user) {
var found = false;
var singlesignup = user.signup.filter(function(e){ return e._id == req.params.id })[0]
user.signup.forEach(function (singlesignup, index) {
if (singlesignup._id === req.params.id) {
found = index;
}
});
if(found) {
user.signup.splice(found, 1);
res.json(200, {status: 'deleted'});
} else {
res.json(404, {status: 'survey question deletion invalid'});
}
}
});
});
