How to add a body to Angular HttpClient delete function

Question

Our project is migrating to Angular4, and use @angular/common/http Httpclient as the default network tool. But I found there are no body p

Answer 1

I also get this problem and my solution is creating a new HttpRequest of delete method, then clone this request, reset its body with your data.

let req = new HttpRequest('DELETE', 'url');
let newReq = req.clone({body: [10]});
this.http.request(newReq).subscribe((res) => {
    console.log(res);
}, (err) => {
    console.log(err);
});

The clone() is required, because the body still can not be directly set in the new HttpRequest().
