Hands-On Server-Side Web Development with Swift

Deleting an item

To delete a specific item, you just need to provide the item's ID and call the  delete() method of the model:

// delete an item by IDfunc deleteItemHandler(id: Int,                        completion: @escaping(RequestError?) -> Void) {  JournalItem.delete(id: id, completion)}

Use curl to delete one of the existing items:

$ curl --request DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/admin/1

Then run the curl command again to retrieve the specific item:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/1

Nothing is printed on the screen.  The deleteItemHandler(id:completion:) handler works as expected!
