Express API DELETE - reactjs

Question

I am trying to add DELETE to my api, but am getting a 404: Not Found for everything I try. All of the GET and POST methods work. This is using the "Points" model that contains points, each with a unique id. I am trying to add a call to delete a point by its id.
Action
export function deletePointById(identifier) {
return dispatch => {
return axios.delete('/api/points/' + identifier)
}
}
Route for DELETE (doesn't work)
router.delete('/:identifier', (req, res) => {
Points.remove({
id: req.params.identifier
}), function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
res.json({ message: 'Deleted' });
};
});
Here is an existing GET that works fine
Action
export function getPointsBySession(session){
return dispatch => {
return axios.get('/api/points/session/' + session)
}
}
Route for GET
router.get('/session/:session', (req, res) => {
Points.query({
select: ['id', 'number', 'quadrant', 'level', 'title', 'category'],
where: {sessionId: req.params.session}
}).fetchAll().then(point => {
res.json({ point });
})
});

It looks like your issue might be that theres an extra brace and semicolon ( };) in your code:
router.delete('/:identifier', (req, res) => {
Points.remove({
id: req.params.identifier
}), function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
res.json({ message: 'Deleted' });
}; // <-- HERE
});
You also need to remove the semicolon on the line above the one I added the comment to.
It will look like this:
router.delete('/:identifier', (req, res) => {
Points.remove({
id: req.params.identifier
}), function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.send(err);
}
res.json({ message: 'Deleted' })
});
