Axios Delete request with body and headers

Question

I m using Axios while programing in ReactJS and I pretend to send a DELETE request to my server   To do so I need the headers   headers       Authorization           and the body is composed of  var payload          username          I ve been searching in the inter webs and only found that the DELETE method requires a  param  and accepts no  data    I ve been trying to send it like so   axios delete URL  payload  header     or even  axios delete URL   params  payload   header     But nothing seems to work     Can someone tell me if its possible  I presume it is  to send a DELETE request with both headers and body and how to do so    Thank you in advance

I tried all of the above which did not work for me. I ended up just going with PUT (inspiration found here) and just changed my server side logic to perform a delete on this url call. (django rest framework function override).

e.g.

.put(`http://127.0.0.1:8006/api/updatetoken/20`, bayst)
      .then((response) => response.data)
      .catch((error) => { throw error.response.data; });

Here is a brief summary of the formats required to send various http verbs with axios   GET  Two ways  First method axios get   user ID 12345      then function  response           Do something        Second method axios get   user         params          ID  12345               then function  response           Do something         The two above are equivalent  Observe the params keyword in the second method   POST and PATCH axios post  any-url   payload  then       payload is the body of the request      Do something    axios patch  any-url   payload  then       payload is the body of the request      Do something     DELETE axios delete  url     data  payload    then       Observe the data keyword this time  Very important      payload is the request body      Do something      Key take aways  get requests optionally need a params key to properly set query parameters delete requests with a body need it to be set under a data key

axios delete does support a request body  It accepts two parameters  url and optional config  You can use config data to set the request body and headers as follows  axios delete url    data    foo   quot bar quot     headers     quot Authorization quot    quot     quot         See here - https   github com axios axios issues 897

For those who tried everything above and still don t see the payload with the request - make sure you have   quot axios quot    quot  0 21 1 quot   not 0 20 0   Then  the above solutions work axios delete  quot URL quot           headers            Authorization   Bearer   token                   data            var1   quot var1 quot           var2   quot var2 quot                   You can access the payload with req body var1  req body var2  Here s the issue  https   github com axios axios issues 3335

To send an HTTP DELETE with some headers via axios I ve done this     const deleteUrl    http  foo bar baz     const httpReqHeaders          Authorization   token       Content-Type    application json            check the structure here  https   github com axios axios request-config   const axiosConfigObject    headers  httpReqHeaders       axios delete deleteUrl  axiosConfigObject     The axios syntax for different HTTP verbs  GET  POST  PUT  DELETE  is tricky because sometimes the 2nd parameter is supposed to be the HTTP body  some other times  when it might not be needed  you just pass the headers as the 2nd parameter   However let s say you need to send an HTTP POST request without an HTTP body  then you need to pass undefined as the 2nd parameter   Bare in mind that according to the definition of the configuration object  https   github com axios axios request-config  you can still pass an HTTP body in the HTTP call via the data field when calling axios delete  however for the HTTP DELETE verb it will be ignored   This confusion between the 2nd parameter being sometimes the HTTP body and some other time the whole config object for axios is due to how the HTTP rules have been implemented  Sometimes an HTTP body is not needed for an HTTP call to be considered valid

I encountered the same problem    I solved it by creating a custom axios instance  and using that to make a authenticated delete request    const token   localStorage getItem  token    const request   axios create           headers                Authorization  token                    await request delete   lt your route gt     data     lt your data gt

axios delete is passed a url and an optional configuration      axios delete url   config     The fields available to the configuration can include the headers   This makes it so that the API call can be written as   const headers        Authorization    Bearer paperboy    const data       foo   bar     axios delete  https   foo svc resource    headers  data
