give the correct permissions in your collection to allow the user to delete items then place a button on your repeater and code something like this…

$w($w.onReady(function () {

// change the following varibles as required for your site (deleteButton1, dataset1, myCollection1)

//make sure the user has been given the correct permissions to allow deleting items from your //collection/database

$w('#deleteButton1').onClick((event) => { 

    $w("#dataset1").onReady(() => { 

        //get ID for repeater item when clicked 

        let $item = $w.at(event.context); 
        let currentItem = $item("#dataset1").getCurrentItem(); 
        let itemID = `${currentItem._id}`; 

        console.log(itemID); 

        wixData.remove("myCollection1", itemID) 


        .then( () => { 

            console.log("item removed from collection/database"); 


         $w("#dataset1").refresh(); 

         }); 

    }) 
})

})

Hi Mike, is it possible to put a lightbox in front of this code to give the user a choice to delete the repeater? The code works fine by the way for the functionality you posted

@Adam
Why don’t you just put a button on the page and create an onClick event for the button to hide the repeater

Thanks Mike, i did wish to enable a user to delete and have overcome this issue by using two buttons. one to load a lightbox and another to actually delete the repeater item.

@mikemoynihan99 Hi, what if I use a query to populate my repeater. I didn’t use a dataset and I would like to have a delete button on my repeater, what would the code be? I hope you could help me.

@mikemoynihan99 Hi, could you explain what the difference is between your versions of dataset1 and mycollection1 are? i assumed they were the same thing?
