Deleting a Post

Hi! I've completed this course and I'm looking to learn more about flask by making this app more robust.

I am trying to make it so I can delete a post, similar to how you would click the "View" button to view a post. I have added a "Delete" button, and created a Delete_post route and function, but if someone could explain to me how I would actually delete the post, that would be great.

Thanks

Use the same route as your view except give it the method DELETE. That part I'm pretty sure on. Then in your function call delete() instead of select() on your database query.. Maybe... Something to try.
