Delete Data with FastAPI

Let's now add a path operation to delete a hero.

This is quite straightforward. 😁

Delete Path Operation

Because we want to delete data, we use an HTTP DELETE operation.

We get a hero_id from the path parameter and verify if it exists, just as we did when reading a single hero or when updating it, possibly raising an error with a 404 response.

And if we actually find a hero, we just delete it with the session.

After deleting it successfully, we just return a response of:

{
    "ok": true
}

Recap

That's it, feel free to try it out in the interactve docs UI to delete some heroes. 💥

Using FastAPI to read data and combining it with SQLModel makes it quite straightforward to delete data from the database.
