Remove Game

note

This tutorial assumes you already have a server.py file with Python Flask and PyMongo set up. If you haven't already, read the Overview before reading this section.

When a user removes a game from their library or wishlist, we update their data with the following steps:

1. The request passes the user's email as a query and a new list with a game removed in the request body.
2. Use MongoDB's find_one_and_update to find the user by email and replace the list with the new list.

The code will be as follows:

@app.route('/remove', methods=["PATCH"])

def delete_game():

email = request.args.get('email')

new_list = request.get_json()['list']

user = User.find_one_and_update({'email': email}, {'$set': new_list})

if not user:

print("no user")

abort(404)

return jsonify({'user': user})
