In your app

A controller answers a route on your app: it calls deleteFaqCategory() and answers 204 once it is done.

Add the controller

app/controllers/delete_faq_category_controller.ts

Add the route

start/routes.ts
Put it behind your auth middleware (.use(middleware.auth())): it acts with your key’s access.

Call it

Your own page’s form or script sends DELETE /faq-category/clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6 and gets back an empty 204 once it is done. Test it, below, calls it.

Find the id

id is the document’s _id, from a list. Ask the list for only the fields you need: each row is a document’s id and those fields.
AdonisJS
Pass row.id as id. Drafts: list with { aposMode: 'draft' } to get the draft’s id (Find an id).

Required parameters

One object, e.g. deleteFaqCategory({ id }); leave out the optional fields.
string
required
Required. The draft’s _id (…:en:draft): deleting it removes the draft and its published document, for good.
Nothing: the promise resolves once the site has answered. Deleted, for good (not moved to the archive). No body.
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below. Your exception handler turns them into your app’s own answers, once for every call (see Map SDK errors to responses); catch only what you want to react to here.
400
The site refused what was sent: errors lists each field’s problem, siteMessage the first.Retried first: No. Read: errors (field → messages), siteMessage.
401
The API key is missing or refused (malformed, revoked, expired), or a signature its signing mode needs is missing or stale.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
403
The key may not do this: a scope it lacks, or an address outside its allowlist. siteMessage names it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
404
Nothing matches, or the caller may not see it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
500
The site failed. Its logs say why.Retried first: No: a write may have landed. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
no answer
No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).Retried first: Only when nothing reached the site (neverConnected()); never after a timeout, when it may have landed. Read: reason, neverConnected.
not sent
The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of ..); the site never saw it.Retried first: No. Read: reason (what to change).
any other
Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).Retried first: No. Read: reason, status.
setup
sites.forSite('acme') named a slug config/attract.ts doesn’t list (with the keys in the database: no row in attract_api_keys).Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The site’s entry is wrong: a malformed baseUrl or key, a key filed under another slug, or no default site. node ace attract:check names the fix.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with content:faq-categories:delete (or a master above it: content:faq-categories:all, content:all, admin:all). A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403.
  • Rate limit: the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with Retry-After. The client waits and retries for you; you see RateLimited only if that runs out.
  • Retries: a write is sent again only after a 429 (refused before it acted) or when it never reached the site. After a timeout or a 5xx it may have landed: check before you send it again.
  • Timeout: 15 s per attempt by default; raise timeout (milliseconds) in config/attract.ts for longer.

Test it

It calls the controller above with the SDK faked: fakeAttract() puts the fake in the container for this one test, and it answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no key is read. Save it as tests/unit/faq_categories_delete_faq_category.spec.ts, then run your tests:
tests/unit/faq_categories_delete_faq_category.spec.ts
Terminal

List an FAQ category’s locales

site.faqCategories().getFaqCategoryLocales()

List FAQ categories

site.faqCategories().listFaqCategories()

Create an FAQ category

site.faqCategories().createFaqCategory()

Get an FAQ category

DELETE /faq-category/{_id}

The endpoint this calls, in the API reference: the HTTP request and answer, and every rule the site checks.
