<VMXObj>.delete(options, onSuccessCallback, onFailureCallback)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
options	JSON	A dictionary containing primary Keys. The options parameter accepts a JSON that has the following options keys primaryKeys whereCondition whereConditionAsAString trackChanges markForUpload For detailed information, refer Options Keys. If the options parameter is null or empty, all the records are deleted.	Yes
successCallback	Function	The function is invoked on successful deletion of a record(s).	Yes
failureCallback	Function	The function is invoked on failure with the cause of failure as an argument.	Yes

Options Keys

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
primaryKeys	JSON	Specify the primary keys of the record to be deleted. The Key Name is primaryKeys and the Value is a dictionary of primary keys.	No
whereCondition	JSON	Specify the where condition for the delete query. The Key Name is whereCondition and the Values are column names and their respective values.	No
whereConditionAsAString	String	Specify the where condition for the delete query. The Key Name is whereConditionAsAString and the Value is a string. Note: For SPA/Desktop Web channels, each condition must have only comparison operator (=,!=,>,<,>=,<=). Multiple conditions can be clubbed using conjunctions(AND,OR).Values containing whitespaces are not supported.	No
trackChanges	Boolean	If the trackChanges key is set to False, the record level operations are not tracked. When the option is set to false, the CUD operations performed on a record are not synced(uploaded). The key is set to True, by default.	No
markForUpload	Boolean	If the markForUpload key is set to False, the record changes are not uploaded to the server. The key is set to True, by default.	No

Return Type

void
