MEAN stack user delete - angularjs

Question

I've got a users list with delete button on /users url. My delete route looks like this:
app.route('/users/:userId')
.get(users.read)
.put(users.updateById)
.delete(users.delete);
app.param('userId', users.userById);
But problem is, that my delete button is calling delete on /users url, so I'm getting DELETE http://localhost:3000/users 404 (Not Found). How can I solve this problem? My controller remove() function you can see below. How can I pass '/user/' + user._id to it? User is removed correctly only from scope :(
$scope.remove = function(id) {
var user = $scope.users[id];
var modalOptions = {
closeButtonText: 'Cancel',
actionButtonText: 'Delete user',
headerText: 'Delete ' + user.displayName + '?',
bodyText: 'Are you sure you want to delete this user?'
};
modalService.showModal({}, modalOptions).then(function() {
if (user) {
user.$remove();
for (var i in $scope.users) {
if ($scope.users[i] === user) {
$scope.users.splice(i, 1); // remove item from scope
}
}
}
});
};
user service is basic from mean.js installation
angular.module('users').factory('Users', ['$resource',
function($resource) {
return $resource('users', {}, {
update: {
method: 'PUT'
}
});
}
]);

angular resources by default have the following methods: get, save, query, remove, delete. unless otherwise specified, they will not pass the param in the url the way you need them to. In this case, you need to specify the remove method and ensure that the param gets passed in the url.
angular.module('users').factory('Users', ['$resource',
function($resource) {
return $resource('users', {}, {
update: {
method: 'PUT'
},
remove: {
method: 'DELETE',
url: 'users/:id',
params: {id: '#_id'}
}
});
}
]);
this assumes your user objects have an _id property, which is common in the mean stack. You should probably setup get save and update the same way.
