Delete multiple objects in Rails with a RESTful controller?

Question

I'd like to delete multiple objects of the same type using a RESTful controller.

The most simple thing I can think of is to have the destroy action expect a comma-separated list of ids of objects to destroy.

Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Answer 1

I think it would be more elegant to take an array of ids:
