My Controller

[Route("api/[controller]/[action]")]
   [ApiController]
   public class UserController : Controller
   {
       private readonly IUserRepository _userRepository;

       public UserController(IUserRepository userRepository)
       {
           _userRepository = userRepository;
       }

       [HttpGet]
       public JsonResult Get()
       {
           var users = _userRepository.GetAllSync();
           return new JsonResult(users);
       }

       [HttpPost]
       public JsonResult Add([FromBody]User user)
       {
           if (!new UserSpecification().IsSatisfiedBy(user))
           {
               throw new ArgumentException("User not valid.");
           }
           if (_userRepository.AnySync(x =>
               x.Email == user.Email ||
               x.UserName == user.UserName))
           {
               throw new ArgumentException("User email or username already taken.");
           }

           return new JsonResult(new { success = true, responseText = "User successfully added!" });
       }

       [HttpPatch]
       public JsonResult Change(string id, [FromBody]User user)

       }

       [HttpDelete]
       public JsonResult Delete(string id)

   }


What I have tried:

My View

<div class="text-center">
    <h1 class="display-4">Users</h1>
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Username</th>
                <th>E-mail</th>
                <th>Phone</th>
                <th>Address</th>
                <th>Edit</th
                <th>Delete</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach (var user in Model.Users)
            {
                <tr class="user" data-userid="@user.Id">
                    <td>@user.Name</td>
                    <td>@user.UserName</td>

1 solution

1. Get PostMan -- https://www.postman.com/downloads/[^]

2. Set it up so you can send a Delete to your controller
That will look something like this snapshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YIJKz.png

I don't know what port yours will be running on, but notice the URL looks like:
https://localhost:4995/User?id=1

That will hit your UserController and since the method is set to Delete and you have a default Delete action then your Delete method will be hit.

From there, you'll better be able to determine how to send a HTTP Delete to your web site. You can also check out my article here on CP : .NET Core Web API: The Least You Need To Know (Part 1 of 2)[^]


Part 2 -- Using XHR (XMLHTTPRequest)

JavaScript
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", transferComplete);
xhr.addEventListener("error", transferFailed);
var url = "https://localhost:4995/User";

function deleteUser(){
       xhr.open("DELETE", url);  // sets the HTTP VERB
       var userData = {"id":1};
       
       console.log(userData);
       xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
       xhr.send(JSON.stringify(userData));
   }

thanks a lot but my main problem is how to Call an HttpDelete action on my webapi (that return JSONResult) from an MVC View not calling it form PostMan

check out part 2 (added to my answer above) - what you're wanting to know how to do is set up the XMLHTTPRequest XHR so you can post to the controller, it was in part 2 of my articles: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5268710/NET-Core-Web-API-The-Least-You-Need-To-Know-Part-2
