Solving the Delete Button Issue with JSON Server Using AngularJS

When working on a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application with AngularJS in conjunction with JSON Server, encountering issues can be frustrating. A common problem developers face is the Delete operation not working properly. If your application is throwing a 404 Not Found error when trying to delete an item, you may be experiencing the same challenge. In this guide, we'll break down the cause of the issue and guide you on how to fix it.

Understanding the Problem

In your AngularJS application, you might be attempting to delete an employee or item using a method similar to the following:

When invoking this method, you encounter the error:

Why Does This Happen?

The issue lies in the URL you're using to make the DELETE request. The endpoint should have a proper format to access the correct resource. If you're missing a forward slash (/) or if the entity you're trying to delete does not exist, the server will respond with a 404 error indicating that it can't find the resource.

The Solution

Step 1: Correcting the URL

To resolve this issue, the first step is to ensure that the URL format is correct. Instead of the incorrect endpoint http://localhost:3000/posts1, you need to adjust it so that it follows this format: http://localhost:3000/posts/{id}. Here's how to modify the code:

Step 2: Alternative URL format

If you are using an alternative query parameter format, you might also consider this format instead:

This method sends the deletion request via a query string rather than directly targeting the item by its ID in the path.

Conclusion

By ensuring the URL is correctly formatted when making a DELETE request, you can successfully resolve the 404 Not Found error. It’s important to ensure that your application's routes are correctly set and that items being referenced in requests actually exist.

Fixing the URL structure is a simple yet critical aspect of working with APIs in AngularJS, especially when interfacing with JSON Server. We hope that this guide helps you overcome the challenges in your CRUD application effectively.
