I am currently learning about the MEAN stack and I am working on implementing CRUD operations using mongoose. I came across a question on stackoverflow discussing how to delete a document by a specific value in MongoDB, which in my case is an article with a unique articleid. However, I seem to be making some mistakes with params that I am unaware of. Can someone please help me correct them?
Here is a sample document in mongodb:
{
_id: objectId("5d77de7ff5ae9e27bd787bd6"),
articleid:"art5678",
title:"Installing JDK 8 in Ubuntu 18.04 and later",
content:"<h2>Step 1: Add repository</h2><p><strong>$ sudo add-apt-repository pp..."
date:"Tue, 10 Sep 2019 17:33:51 GMT"

}
article.component.html
<div class="row mt-5">
<div class="col-md-4 mb-3" *ngFor="let article of articles;">
<div class="card text-center">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">{{article.title}}</h5>
<a (click)="onPress(article.articleid)" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The method
(click)="onPress(article.articleid")article.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ArticleService } from '../article.service';
@Component({
selector: 'app-articles',
templateUrl: './articles.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./articles.component.css']
})
export class ArticlesComponent implements OnInit {
articles = []
constructor(private _articleService: ArticleService) { }
ngOnInit() {
this._articleService.getEvents()
.subscribe(
res => this.articles = res,
err => console.log(err)
)
}
onPress(id) {
this._articleService.deleteArticle()
.subscribe (
data => {
console.log("hello");
}
);
}
}
I have also created a service called article.service.ts:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ArticleService {
private _deleteUrl = "http://localhost:3000/api/delete/:id";
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getAllArticles() {
...
}
deleteArticle(id) {
return this.http.delete<any>(this._deleteUrl);
}
}
Lastly, here is my API script api.js:
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Article = require('../models/article');
const dbstring = ...
mongoose.connect(dbstring, { useNewUrlParser: true }, err => {
...
})
router.delete('/delete/:id', (req, res) => {
let articleData=req.params.id;
console.log(articleData); //Output: {}
console.log('on delete url '+articleData); //Output: on delete url undefined
Article.deleteOne({articleid: articleData}, (error, article) => {
if(error) {
console.log(error)
}
else {
if(!article) {
res.status(401).send('Something went wrong')
}
else {
//res.json(article);
}
}
})
})
module.exports = router;
If you can't write the code for me, could you guide me towards some helpful study materials at least?
