As Kenny, a busy front end engineer I need to be able to send a DELETE request with an activity_id to the API so that I can allow my users to delete their activities.
As Norman, a Tech Lead working across lots of projects I need to be able to depend on conventions like: the response object always containing a key called data or error, or the status code being an accurate indication of the success/failure (and reason) of the request.
Acceptance Criteria:
Given I am a developer who has the Activity API running,
When I make a DELETE request to “http://localhost:3000/activities/activity_id_here”
Then the API should delete the activity that has a matching activity id in the activities.json file,
Then the request should succeed, responding with the correct status code and the deleted activity object in the response body (response.data).
Given I am a developer who has made an invalid DELETE request by specifying an id for a activity that does not exist,
When I inspect the API response,
Then the the API call should fail with the correct response code and a clear error message (response.error).
### Tasks for User Story 6
- [x] Define a DELETE route at `/activities/:id`
- [x] Extract the `id` from the request parameters.
- [x] Check if the `id` exists in `activities.json`.
- [x] If the `id` does not exist, respond with 400 and an error message.
- [x] If the `id` exists, remove the corresponding activity from `activities.json`.
- [x] Respond with the correct status code (e.g., 200 OK).
- [x] Include the deleted activity object in the response body.
- [x] Test if all User Story criteria is met!
