make a http delete request in javascript

Here are two ways to make an HTTP DELETE request in JavaScript:

Using XMLHttpRequest:


index.tsx
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("DELETE", "http://example.com/api/resource", true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
        console.log(xhr.responseText);
    }
};
xhr.send();

Using fetch:


index.tsx
fetch('http://example.com/api/resource', {
    method: 'DELETE'
})
.then(response => {
    console.log(response);
})
.catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
});

Both methods use the HTTP DELETE method to make the request. The first method uses the older XMLHttpRequest object, while the second method uses the newer fetch function that is becoming more popular due to its simplicity and promise-based nature.
