kt-delete

The kt-delete attribute will cause an element to issue a DELETE to the specified URL and swap the HTML into the DOM using a swap strategy:

<button kt-delete="/account" kt-target="body">
  Delete Your Account
</button>

This example will cause the button to issue a DELETE to /account and swap the returned HTML into the innerHTML of the body.

Notes

• kt-delete is not inherited
• Since most browsers do not support issuing an actual DELETE, the request will actually be issued as a POST, with the X-HTTP-Method-Override header set to DELETE.
• You can control the target of the swap using the kt-target attribute
• You can control the swap strategy by using the kt-swa attribute
• You can control what event triggers the request with the kt-trigger attribute
