Deleting Records with Remote Objects

del() accepts two arguments, both optional, and can delete one or many records, depending on the arguments that you provide.

record_ids is an array of strings, where the strings are the Ids of records to be deleted. If this parameter is omitted, the Id that is set on the Remote Object instance is used. The simplest way to delete a record is to call del() on itself.

More often, you might need to delete a record in response to a button click. Deleting the record is as simple as getting the record’s Id from the page and then passing the Id to del(). For example:

Robust code includes a callback to handle errors. The following code accomplishes the same as the previous sample, altered to use an event handler and a callback function.

To delete multiple records in one request—for example, checked items from a list—pass an array of Ids to del().
