Review Delete Controller

Watch Code

In this lesson, we'll add the delete functionality to our ReviewController, enabling users to remove their reviews from restaurants through our REST API.

Implementing the Delete Endpoint

The delete endpoint follows REST conventions by using the HTTP DELETE method to remove a specific review.

Let's implement the deleteReview method in our ReviewController:

@DeleteMapping("/{reviewId}")
public ResponseEntity<Void> deleteReview(
        @PathVariable String restaurantId,
        @PathVariable String reviewId
) {
    reviewService.deleteReview(restaurantId, reviewId);
    return ResponseEntity.noContent().build();
}

Summary

Added deleteReview endpoint using @DeleteMapping annotation
Method accepts restaurantId and reviewId as path variables
Returns HTTP 204 status code on successful deletion
