--description--

findByIdAndRemove and findOneAndRemove are like the previous update methods. They pass the removed document to the db. As usual, use the function argument personId as the search key.

--instructions--

Modify the removeById function to delete one person by the person's _id. You should use one of the methods findByIdAndRemove() or findOneAndRemove().

--hints--

Deleting an item should succeed

(getUserInput) =>
  $.post(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/remove-one-person', {
    name: 'Jason Bourne',
    age: 36,
    favoriteFoods: ['apples']
  }).then(
    (data) => {
      assert.equal(data.name, 'Jason Bourne', 'item.name is not what expected');
      assert.equal(data.age, 36, 'item.age is not what expected');
      assert.deepEqual(
        data.favoriteFoods,
        ['apples'],
        'item.favoriteFoods is not what expected'
      );
      assert.equal(data.__v, 0);
      assert.equal(data.count, 0, 'the db items count is not what expected');
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
