Answer 1

Deleting users in array

Other good option, is to convert javascript array to string, and pass it has the required parameter, instead of passing object. Here the example:

In Vue.js 2.5.17+

//Use the javascript method JSON.stringify to convert the array into string: axios.delete('api/users/' + JSON.stringify(this.checkedNames))

In Laravel 5.3+

//Resource default route (you don't need to create, it already exists)
Route::delete('api/users/{id}', 'UserController@destroy'); 

//In laravel delete method, convert the parameter to original array format 
public function destroy($id)
{
    User::destroy(json_decode($id); //converting and deleting users in array 'id'
}

Deleting single user by id

Just pass the id. You don't need to convert it.

In Vue.js 2.5.17+

axios.delete('api/users/' + id)

In Laravel 5.3+

You can name the parameter as you wish: user, id, item ,...

In Laravel 5.6+ < is named as $id //this can be the id or the user object
In Laravel 5.7+ > is named as $user //this can be the id or the user object

public function destroy($id)
{
    User::destroy($id); 
}
