Datasource remove, unexpected behaviour

[Tom]

Hi,
The following is my (coffee) datasource code excerpt:

schema:
  model:
    id: 'id'
transport:
  destroy:
    url: (model) -> ApiUrl "transmittals/transmittal/#{model.id}"
    type: 'DELETE'
    data: {}

A few things:
.I'd expected the destroy to use type = delete by default, no?
.I'd expected it to add the id to the url itself - do i have to inject it myself (like above)?
.Currently kendo is sending my entire model along with the request, ho can i prevent that?

Hello Tom,

Let me get straight to the answers:

• The Destory request's default type is GET as mentioned in the documentation
• The ID is not automatically added, so manually inserting it is the way to go if the back-end service expects it to be in the URL
• This could be achieved in couple of ways:
  • Return an empty object in the the parameterMap function of the operation is Destroy
  • Specify the CRUD operations as functions and manually make the Ajax requests. For example: 

    transport: {
      read: function(options) {
        $.ajax({
          url: "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/products",
          dataType: "jsonp",
          success: function(result) {
            options.success(result);
          }
        });
      },
