Axios Delete request with body and headers?

Question

I'm using Axios while programing in ReactJS and I pretend to send a DELETE request to my server.

To do so I need the headers:

headers: {
  'Authorization': ...
}

and the body is composed of

var payload = {
    "username": ..
}

I've been searching in the inter webs and only found that the DELETE method requires a "param" and accepts no "data".

I've been trying to send it like so:

axios.delete(URL, payload, header);

or even

axios.delete(URL, {params: payload}, header);

But nothing seems to work...

Can someone tell me if its possible (I presume it is) to send a DELETE request with both headers and body and how to do so ?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

So after a number of tries, I found it working.

Please follow the order sequence it's very important else it won't work

axios.delete(URL, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: authorizationToken
  },
  data: {
    source: source
  }
});
