My ajax delete is not passing data to the controller. Codeigniter

Question

CODEIGNITER

I'm trying to delete an instance in the db using an ajax delete request. I'm trying to pass data with the id of the instance I want to delete.

In my javascript when i use 'type:POST' in my ajax call the code works correctly and the data is deleted but when i use type:DELETEit doesn't work.

JAVASCRIPT AJAX CALL

$(".complete").click(function(){
    var title = this.id;
    //console.log(title);
     $.ajax({
       url: '/ajax-requestDel',
       type: 'DELETE',    <!-- when i use type:'POST" the code works
       data: {title: title},
       error: function() {
          alert('Something is wrong');

       },
       success: function(data) {
           console.log(data);
       }

    });
});

CONTROLLER CODE

    public function ajaxRequestDelete(){
       $data = $this->input->post('title');
       return $this->db->delete('todo', array('title'=>$data));
    }

When debugging i have found that the variable $data is empty but when using a post call it has the desired value.

How do i repeat the same behavior using delete. Thanks.

The data will arrive at the php input stream php://input for a DELETE request.

You should use $this->input->input_stream('title'); as per the manual
