make a http delete request in typescript

To make a HTTP DELETE request in TypeScript, we can use the Axios library which is a popular HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

We first need to install Axios by running the command npm install axios.

Then we can create a function to make a DELETE request to a REST API endpoint. In this example, we will use the axios.delete() method to send a DELETE request to a URL and receive a response.

index.ts
import axios from 'axios';

async function deleteData(url: string) {
  try {
    const response = await axios.delete(url);
    console.log('Data deleted:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error deleting data:', error);
  }
}

In this function, we first specify the URL of the REST API endpoint that we want to send a DELETE request to. We then use the axios.delete() method to do the actual request, which returns a Promise.

If the request is successful, we log the response data to the console. Otherwise, we log the error that occurred.

We can call this function with a URL to send a DELETE request to the REST API endpoint and delete data.
