9. DELETE endpoints

DELETE /api/snippets/:id

Let's start with a simplified version of the DELETE /api/snippets/:id route. First we add the DELETE route to api/snippets.js:

// ...

// DELETE /api/snippets/:id
router.delete("/:id", async (request, response) => {
  // TODO
});

// ...

To be able to delete a row from the snippets table, we need to have an existing snippet. Create a snippet first and note what the snippet ID is.

The DELETE request we want to make will look something like this:

DELETE /api/snippets/1

Exercise: Implement the DELETE endpoint

When we now make a request like:

DELETE /api/snippets/1

you should delete the row from the snippets table where the snippet ID matches the :id parameter in the URL.
