How to pass parameter to DELETE in AngularJS?

Question

Which is the right way to pass parameter in a DELETE in AngularJS?

This call is not working:

 $http.delete("api/testDelete",
             { 
              Id:5
             }
             ).success(function (data) {
                alert('Exit status ' + data);
            });

This call is working:

  $http.delete("api/testDelete",
             { 
               { params: { Id: 5 } }
             }
             ).success(function (data) {
                alert('Exit status ' + data);
            });

This is the C# Web Api being called:

[HttpDelete]   
  public bool testDelete(int Id)
  { return true; }

Why do i have to use params? Is it possible to pass an object? Thanks

You need to send the id in the URL:

$http.delete("api/testDelete/5")
     .success(function (data) {
        alert('Exit status ' + data);
     });

You can send params to the api in two ways:

In the query string:

$http.delete("api/testDelete",{ 
     { params: { Id: 5 } }
 }).success(function (data) {
     alert('Exit status ' + data);
 });

In the body of the request:

 $http.delete("api/testDelete",{ 
     { data: { Id: 5 } }
 }).success(function (data) {
     alert('Exit status ' + data);
 });
