DeleteEntry Method

Deletes an entry within an OData service resource.

Syntax

odata.deleteEntry([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

The component will delete the entry, of an OData service resource, specified by ServiceRootURI and ResourcePath (ServiceRootURI/ResourcePath).

An "If-Match" header will be sent in the delete request with the value contained within EntryETag.

Upon a successful entry deletion, all previous entries contained by the component, prior to the DeleteEntry call, will be cleared. OtherHeaders will also be cleared and thus will need to be reset accordingly with each call made.
