Makes a `DELETE` request to the passed URL.
|
|
|
|
- Use the `XMLHttpRequest` web API to make a `DELETE` request to the given `url`.
|
|
- Handle the `onload` event, by running the provided `callback` function.
|
|
- Handle the `onerror` event, by running the provided `err` function.
|
|
- Omit the third argument, `err` to log the request to the console's error stream by default.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const httpDelete = (url, callback, err = console.error) => {
|
|
const request = new XMLHttpRequest();
|
|
request.open('DELETE', url, true);
|
|
request.onload = () => callback(request);
|
|
request.onerror = () => err(request);
|
|
request.send();
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
httpDelete('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1', request => {
|
|
console.log(request.responseText);
|
|
}); // Logs: {}
|
|
```
