io.socket.delete()

Send a virtual DELETE request to a Sails server using Socket.io.

io.socket.delete(url, data, function (data, jwres){
  // ...
});

Usage

	Argument	Details
1	`url`	The destination URL path, e.g. "/checkout".
2	`data`	Optional request data- if provided, will be URL encoded and appended to `url` (existing query string params in url will be preserved)
3	`callback`	Optional callback- if provided, will be called when the server responds.

Callback

	Argument	Type	Details
1	`resData`		Data received in the response from the Sails server (=== `jwres.body`, equivalent to the HTTP response body.)
2	`jwres`		A JSON WebSocket Response object. Has `headers`, a `body`, and a `statusCode`.

Example

<script>
io.socket.delete('/users/9', function (resData) {
  resData; // => {id:9, name: 'Timmy Mendez', occupation: 'psychic'}
});
</script>

Notes

Remember that you can communicate with any of your routes using socket requests.

Need to customize request headers? Check out the slightly lower-level io.socket.request() method, or to set custom headers for all outgoing requests, check out io.sails.headers.
