delete

§Signature

§Description

Matches requests with HTTP method DELETE.

This directive filters an incoming request by its HTTP method. Only requests with method DELETE are passed on to the inner route. All others are rejected with a MethodRejection, which is translated into a 405 Method Not Allowed response by the default RejectionHandler.

§Example

val route = delete { complete("This is a DELETE request.") }
 
// tests:
Delete("/") ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "This is a DELETE request."
}
