Removing function on server which delete array with bunch IDs-CodePudding

I have an app that looks like this picture 1

I choose checkboxes and after I press mass delete and in state I have array of ids which I have chosen (picture 2) My delete function in controllers looks the following

const deleteProduct = async (req, res) => {
  const { id: productId } = req.params;
  const product = await Product.findOne({ _id: productId });
  console.log(product);

  if (!product) {
    throw new Error(`No product with ${productId}`);
  }
  await product.remove();
  res.status(200).json({ msg: "Success, product removed" });
};

But this function works in postman only on route

router.route("/:id").delete(deleteProduct)

How to write a function which takes the array of items and a route for that?

CodePudding user response：

First of all, its unclear what method do you use (POST or GET) ?

GET method:

URL example

my-api/products?array[]=1&array[]=2&array[]=3

Then you can read array variable as follows:

route.get('my-api/products', (req, res) => {
   console.log(req.query.array); // [1, 2, 3]
})

POST method:

You have to send POST request to your endpoint (e.g. with axios):

axios.post('my-api/products', {
   selectedItems: [] // your array of ids
})

then read ids array

route.post('my-api/products', (req, res) => {
   console.log(req.body.selectedItems); // [1, 2, 3]
})
