Delete data from a Fliplet Datasource

To remove an entry (i.e. a row in the data source) you need to know that entry’s ID. You can find the entry’s ID (in this case we’re locating a row where the name is “John”) and delete the row using the .removeById() command.

var dataSourceConnection;

Fliplet.DataSources.connect(265)
  .then(function (connection) {
    dataSourceConnection = connection;

    return connection.findOne({
      where: { name: 'John' }
    });
  })
  .then(function (user) {
    if (!user) {
      return Promise.reject('User not found');
    }

    return dataSourceConnection.removeById(user.id);
  });

If you don’t want to delete the entire row but instead want to delete a value in the row, this is equivalent to updating a column with a blank value. For examples on how to save and overwrite data in the data source please go here.
