Accessing Your API with Variables in Blazor: Implementing a DELETE Function

Blazor has gained immense popularity in the web development community, allowing developers to build interactive web applications using C# . However, beginners often encounter challenges when accessing APIs with variables. One common scenario is adding a DELETE function to an existing API setup. This guide aims to provide a clear and detailed explanation of how to approach this from both the front-end and back-end perspectives.

The Initial Setup

Before diving into the implementation of a DELETE function, let's review the existing setup:

Current Code Overview

In your .razor file, you have already established a way to retrieve data from your API. Here’s a quick overview of the relevant code you shared:

Initialization: The function OnInitializedAsync() fetches user data from the API and stores it in the users array. It also selects the first user for future operations.

API Controller Setup

The corresponding API controller in C# appears as follows:

GET Method: This method retrieves user data from the database.

Implementing the DELETE Function

Front-End Changes

To add a DELETE function, you need to modify your existing .razor file. Below is how you can set it up:

Delete Method: The Enter() method constructs the DELETE request URL by appending the selected user's ID. After sending the request, it checks if the operation succeeded and provides appropriate feedback.

Back-End Changes

Now, let's modify your API controller to handle the deletion process correctly:

Response Handling: The modified Delete() method checks if the user exists. If found, it removes the user and saves changes to the database. If not found or on failure, it returns appropriate error messages.

Conclusion

Implementing a DELETE function in a Blazor application requires modifications to both your front-end and back-end code. By following the structured approach outlined in this post, you can effectively handle API interactions and improve your application's data management capabilities.
