Deleting an entry through a button click using mongoldb, mongoose, jade and express
One way to do this is to set in the each button an id of the document that you want to remove.
//jadetd button.remove-doc.btn.btn-danger.col-xs-12(data-id="#{user.id)") Xand add an event listener to send an ajax request to delete the user:
<script> $('buttons.remove.doc').on('click', function() { var userId = $(this).attr('data-id'); $.ajax({ method: "POST", url: "/users/delete", data: {"userId": userId}, success: function(result) { if(/* check if it is ok */) { location.reload(); } } }) });</script>in node you will have something like this:
app.post('/users/delete', function(req, res, next) { var userId = req.body.userId || req.query.userId; userSchema.remove({_id: userId}, function(err, res) { if (err) { res.json({"err": err}); } else { res.json({success: true}); });});
