Deleting Files

To delete uploaded file, use /uploads/:hash endpoint with DELETE method.

The :hash is the file hash returned from the Upload model.

Deleting Files from the Database

To delete the file from the database, use the deleteFile function from @warlock.js/core:

src/app/uploads/routes.ts

import { router, deleteFile } from "@warlock.js/core";
import { adminPath, guarded } from "app/utils/router";

guarded(() => {
  router.post(["/uploads", adminPath("/uploads")], uploadFiles);
  router.post(
    ["/uploads/chunks", adminPath("/uploads/chunks")],
    uploadChunkedFiles
  );
  router.delete(["/uploads/:hash", adminPath("/uploads/:hash")], deleteFile);
});

note

Please note that we used an array of route to allow deleting files apis from either the admin or the front office side.

danger

If the files should be deleted from the admin side only, then add the adminPath function only.
