## DELETE requests

To delete an item via the API endpoint:

```ts
import { del } from 'aws-amplify/api';

async function deleteItem() {
  try {
    const restOperation = del({
      apiName: 'myRestApi',
      path: 'items/1',
    });
    await restOperation.response;
    console.log('DELETE call succeeded');
  } catch (e) {
    console.log('DELETE call failed: ', JSON.parse(e.response.body));
  }
}
```
