Question

I need to send a request body with my DELETE requests using $resource

The only way I could see to do this was to change:

Answer 1

You can inject the $http (http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.%24http#Usage) component into one of one of your controllers and by using it as follows :

$http({method: 'DELETE', url: 'www.url.com', headers: {'X-MY-HEADER': 'MY_VALUE'}});

I hope this what you expected.

Answer 2

You should be able to call 'remove' on your resource as explained in the documentation https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource

Answer 3

This works.

$scope.delete = function(object) {
    $http({
        url: 'domain/resource',
        method: 'DELETE',
        data: {
            id: object.id
        },
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8"
        }
    }).then(function(res) {
        console.log(res.data);
    }, function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    });
};
