5. Adding Delete Feature

Adding Delete Feature to List Page

<DeleteButton/> is a refine component that is used for deleting records. When you click on the delete button, it will show a confirmation modal and delete the record upon confirmation. To add it to the "blog_posts" table:

Open the src/pages/blog-posts/list.tsx file on your editor.
Import the <DeleteButton/> component from @refinedev/antd:
```
import { DeleteButton } from "@refinedev/antd";
```

Add the <DeleteButton/> component to the actions column of the table:

<Table.Column
    title="Actions"
    dataIndex="actions"
    render={(_, record: BaseRecord) => (
        <Space>
            <EditButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
            <ShowButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
            <DeleteButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
        </Space>
    )}
/>

You can now delete a record from the list page by clicking on the delete button of any blog post.

For more information, refer to the <DeleteButton/> documentation→

Enabling the Delete Feature on Show and Edit Pages

We can enable the delete feature on both show and edit pages while we are defining a resource by setting the canDelete property in the meta to true as shown below:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Layout, notificationProvider, ErrorComponent } from "@refinedev/antd";
import routerBindings, {
    UnsavedChangesNotifier,
} from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

import { BlogPostList } from "pages/blog-posts/list";
import { BlogPostEdit } from "pages/blog-posts/edit";
import { BlogPostshow } from "pages/blog-posts/show";
import { BlogPostCreate } from "pages/blog-posts/create";

import "@refinedev/antd/dist/reset.css";

const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <BrowserRouter>
            <Refine
                routerProvider={routerBindings}
                dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
                notificationProvider={notificationProvider}
                resources={[
                    {
                        name: "blog_posts",
                        meta: {
                            canDelete: true,
                        },
                    },
                ]}
                options={{
                    syncWithLocation: true,
                    warnWhenUnsavedChanges: true,
                }}
            >
                {/* ... */}
                <UnsavedChangesNotifier />
            </Refine>
        </BrowserRouter>
    );
};
export default App;

After setting the canDelete property in meta to true, you will see a delete button on both show and edit pages.

For more information, refer to the canDelete section of the <Refine/> documentation→

TIP

You can also use useDelete hook provided by refine to delete a record.
