So, supposed i have this link in my ejs file :

<a href="/user/12">Delete</a>

And in my route file, i have delete code like following :

router.delete( '/user/:id', function ( req, res ) {
   // delete operation stuff
});

So my question is, how i can override GET request from link into DELETE method to ensure my router.delete route able to handle it. Right now, its only detect the request as a GET. I'm using this Method Override module to handle it, But seems like all of examples were using form element, not the anchor way. Anyone?

Anyway, right now here is the solutions i used to override GET request by using middleware before application request was made, so far for the link i change the href to look like this :

<a href="/user/12?_method=DELETE" >Delete</a>

And in route :

router.use( function( req, res, next ) {
    // this middleware will call for each requested
    // and we checked for the requested query properties
    // if _method was existed
    // then we know, clients need to call DELETE request instead
    if ( req.query._method == 'DELETE' ) {
        // change the original METHOD
        // into DELETE method
        req.method = 'DELETE';
        // and set requested url to /user/12
        req.url = req.path;
    }       
    next(); 
});

Finally, the requested path will match this route :

router.delete( '/user/:id', function ( req, res ) {
  // delete operation stuff
});

Anyone who encountered this problems may try it out and if anyone who facing this problems and able to solved it with great solutions, please let me know. Happy codding!
