Hey when i use --no-brunch ,delete method does not work in front end ,why phoenix force me to use brunch or some things like that ? if i dont want to use brunch or webpack and … what should i do for working delete method in front end ?

The browser does not natively support delete requests so for them to work you will need to include the Phoenix HTML Javascript file ( phoenix_html/priv/static/phoenix_html.js at main · phoenixframework/phoenix_html · GitHub ) In removing brunch you will have also removed the mechanism through which t…
