Angular 2: How to create Delete service but just updating the status as inactive

Question

I am new to Angular, by the way.

I have a delete button that shows a confirmation dialog to the user on whether to really delete an employee or not. When user chooses YES, frontend would pass the employeeID to the backend and the service should just update the employee and return a FALSE or TRUE to the frontend.

Q: What should be the correct content in my deleteEmployee() in service (Observable)?

I have these codes in my service file

    getEmployees();
    getEmployees(filter?: any): Observable<Employee[]> {
        if (typeof filter !== 'undefined') {
            let body = JSON.stringify({filter});
            let headers = new Headers({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
            let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });

            console.log(body);

            return this.http.post('http://52.193.131.36:8000/api/staffs', body, options)
                        .map(this.extractData)
                        .catch(this.handleError);
        } else {
            return this.http.get('http://52.193.131.36:8000/api/staffs')
                    .map(this.extractData)
                    .catch(this.handleError);
        }
    }

And this:

    private extractData(res: Response | any) {
        let body = res.json();
        return body.data || {};
    }

    private handleError (error: Response | any) {
        // In a real world app, you might use a remote logging infrastructure
        let errMsg: string;
        if (error instanceof Response) {
            const body = error.json() || '';
            const err = body.error || JSON.stringify(body);
            errMsg = `${error.status} - ${error.statusText || ''} ${err}`;
        } else {
            errMsg = error.message ? error.message : error.toString();
        }
        console.error(errMsg);
        return Observable.throw(errMsg);
    }

So you mean to say your `handleError` function should return `true` or `false` from where ever it is called? Am i correct?? — mayur, Jun 15 '17 at 08:17

The function return boolean value only For Ex: true OR false

handleError(): boolean {
   let res: boolean;

      if (true) {
        return true;
      } else {
        return false;
      }
}
