How to delete a record in octobercms?

I am a bit confused how it comes together. I am trying to delete a record from a list of records and I currently have this.


function onDelete()
{
$recordId = post('record')
$record = Advert::find($recordId); 
$record->delete();

}

In twig i have

 <tbody>
     {% for post in posts %}



      <td><a href="{{ 'product-single'|page({ slug: post.slug }) }}" name = "record">{{ post.title }}</a></td>


      <td><button class="btn btn-sm btn-danger" data-request ="onDelete" data-request-confirm="Are you sure" data-request-success="alert('Successfully Deleted')">Delete</button> </td>

    </tr>

    {% endfor %}

 </tbody>

I am currently having this error

"Call to a member function delete() on null"

Make sure to use field names when querying. Try this.

function onDelete()
{
$recordId = request('post')
Advert::where('slug',$recordId)->delete(); 
}

If not add die() and use print_r to check whether Advert::where is returning any object.

You're not sending the record ID to the server in your AJAX request.

Add data-request-data="record: {{ post.id }}" to your button that triggers the AJAX request so that post('record') actually gets data from the AJAX request that it can use to find the record that you want to delete.
