This is probably a design choice by the axios team and for good reason but I write all my POST/GET/PUTs like this:
const res = await axios.post(url, {
data: {
...
}
})
And my server sometimes expects data inside the DELETE request body (which may not be technically according to spec but nonetheless it is common) in which case I have to write my DELETE in this form:
const res = await axios({
method: 'DELETE',
url: 'url',
data: {
...
}
})
Which works fine but I'm forced to use the second syntax because the axios.delete doesn't support a request body.
So I would like to request that axios.delete will support a request body.
Thanks

We often use data with GET requests on the server and they are translated to query params. The lack of data support on certain methods is a big downside for axios in my hopes of more isomorphic code.

axiox.delete does support a request body. It accepts two parameters: url and optional config. You can use config.data to set the response body as follows:
axios.delete(url, { data: { foo: "bar" } });
post, put, and patch accept 3 parameters: url, data, and config so you can you can use the second parameter to set the response body like this:
axios.put(url, { foo: "bar" });
Hope it helps!

I think the README is making it dificult to understand:
// `data` is the data to be sent as the request body
// Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', and 'PATCH'
// When no `transformRequest` is set, must be of one of the following types:
// - string, plain object, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, URLSearchParams
// - Browser only: FormData, File, Blob
// - Node only: Stream, Buffer
data: {
firstName: 'Fred'
},
This part: // Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', and 'PATCH' especially.

what is the difference between these two?
this.$axios.$delete(queryData.url,
{
params: { id: String(queryData.id) }
})
this.$axios.$delete(queryData.url,
{
body: { id: String(queryData.id) }
})
[params] worked on my side
