Body request in DELETE method is empty

[aalfiann]

My question is how to get body request value when using DELETE method?

controller

exports.install = function() {
    ROUTE('/api/user/delete', ['delete','*User --> @delete']);
};

schema

NEWSCHEMA('User').make(function(schema) {
  schema.define('id', 'string');
  schema.addWorkflow('delete', function($) {
    console.log($.model);
  });
});

cURL

curl -X DELETE \
  http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/user/delete \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Host: 127.0.0.1:8000' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -d '{
    "id":"5d88af3e45df0a0e376e6724"
}'

console.log Why the id is empty?

SchemaInstance { id: '' }

Hi @aalfiann, preparing of data is disabled in DELETE method. You can get raw data via $.body property. It's because in most cases you send only id of record for deleting some records. Therefore Total.js disables validation.

Yeah, in most cases only need id record for deleting the data. But in our project there is 3 conditions required and it's too long if I just put it in url.

Btw, $.body is work.

Thank you very much.
