Restangular - Delete Request Without ID

I am using the rectangular library with angular.js. I currently have a service called me that represents the currently authenticated user.

 services/me

I also have a service called desk that represents that user's current location by returning a single desk object.

 services/me/desk

I want to be able to delete the desk to remove a person's current location, by calling a delete request on it. However, whenever I do, restangular adds the id of the desk as a parameter making the url:

 services/me/desk/:id

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to send a delete request without automatically appending the ID. Please let me know if there is a way to do this within the library.

Thanks!

I assume because the object you are removing was retrieved via Restangular that it's being smart because you have a property called id. Try one of the following. Both should work. They're not connected directly with the object you received:

1.

Restangular.one('services/me/desk').remove().then(
function (response) {
    // success
},
function (response) {
    // error
});

2.

Restangular.customDELETE("services/me/desk", {}, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }).then(
function (response) {
    // success
},
function (response) {
    // error
});
