587d7fb8367417b2b2512c10 Delete One Document Using model.findByIdAndRemove 2 301539

Description

findByIdAndRemove and findOneAndRemove are like the previous update methods. They pass the removed document to the db. As usual, use the function argument personId as the search key.

Instructions

Modify the removeById function to delete one person by the person's _id. You should use one of the methods findByIdAndRemove() or findOneAndRemove().

Tests

tests:
  - text: Deleting an item should succeed
    testString: |
      getUserInput => $.post(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/remove-one-person', {name:'Jason Bourne', age: 36, favoriteFoods:['apples']}).then(data => {
        assert.equal(data.name, 'Jason Bourne', 'item.name is not what expected');
        assert.equal(data.age, 36, 'item.age is not what expected');
        assert.deepEqual(data.favoriteFoods, ['apples'], 'item.favoriteFoods is not what expected');
        assert.equal(data.__v, 0);
        assert.equal(data.count, 0, 'the db items count is not what expected');
        }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
