How to make a DELETE request in Vue.js

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to make a DELETE() request in Vue.js using axios.

You can learn, how to make POST(), GET() requests in my previous tutorials.

Making a DELETE request in Vue.js

axios.delete(process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + 'api/users/1/', config)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response)
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error)
  })

The API call above will send a DELETE request to the following API route process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + 'api/users/1/'.

You should configure your back-end server to accept DELETE requests.

A real-life example of DELETE request in Vuex

DELETE_USER ({ commit, state }, { userId }) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    axios.delete(process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + 'api/users/' + userId + '/', config).then(response => {
      resolve(response)
    }).catch(error => {
      reject(error)
    })
  })
}

In the example above, we’re using JavaScript Promises for the eventual completion of the request.
