How to send parameters with Angular's $http.delete()?

Question

This is how I use Angular's $http.get to send parameters to a REST endpoint. It works:

var httpParams = {'myparam1': 'Hello'};
$http.get('http://localhost:8976/my/url', {'params': httpParams}).then(successFunc, failureFunc);

This sends a GET call that is equivalent to the following CURL command:

curl --request GET "http://localhost:8976/my/url?myparam1=Hello"

But now want to send a DELETE request with the same URL and the same parameters. How do I do it? This doesn't work:

var httpParams = {'myparam1': 'Hello'};
$http.delete('http://localhost:8976/my/url', {'params': httpParams}).then(successFunc, failureFunc);

The URL gets hit, but the parameters are not received by the REST endpoint.

$http.delete("http://localhost:8976/my/url?" + httpParams) — Sravan

Sorry, Sravan, that isn't correct. You cannot concatenate an object and a string like that. — Saqib Ali

var httpParams = $.param({ 'myparam1': 'Hello' });, use $.param to convert it into query params. — Sravan

Hmm, that is odd. What backend are you using to serve up your endpoints? Can you confirm in the client dev tools that the request contains the query parameters in the URL? — John F.

For handling RESTful things you should use Angular#$resource which provide delete method on each resource object.And you can configure the params as well during resource configuration and creation.

Using resource,you can have CRUD API without manual configuration. so,http GET,POST,DELET,PUT method on this resource object

If you want to send DELETE REST manually then better pass the parameter as query string.It does not send the parameter in the body.
