How to send custom property name in delete option using feathersjs

Question

I want to delete the document in a collection., In feathers accept only id not any specific property name for deletion.

My url is: http://localhost:8080/workers?userId=3

function(hook,next){
      if(hook.params.query.userId){
          hook.app.service('users')
            .remove({ query: {userId: hook.params.query.userId}})
            .then(result=>{
              console.log(result,'result');
              });
      } else {
        next();
      }
    }

Answer 1

You can pass null as the id to remove to remove entries according to a query. It is documented here and here . So

hook.app.service('users').remove(null, { query: {userId: hook.params.query.userId}})

Should do what you want.

Answer 2

You will need to find the id of the document and then pass that into the remove method afaik. This is much safer than attempting to delete on a property value.

Answer 3

Send the extra parameters as query parameters in the URL eg

/delete/<id>/?param1=value1&param2=value2

then access these parameters in your service as

const {param1, param2} = params.query;
