What is the restful way to delete multiple items in rails?

Question

How to delete multiple records in rails by passing the multiple values to REST api?. My current routes looks like this:

products DELETE /products/:id(.:format)   products#destroy

When I try to pass multiple values as as an array (DELETE /products/[ids]), it says the routes doesn't exists.

Answer 1

If you're doing that pass an array of ids and use destroy_all

Product.where(id: params[:ids]).destroy_all

Answer 2

After a lot research, I have figured out a way to delete multiple records by passing the ids as a comma separated values to REST api.

You have call the API like this

DELETE /products/id1,id2,id3 

Now handle the business logic in your controller

Product.where(id: params[:id].split(',')).destroy_all
