-#### Vue-resource gotchas
-#### Headers
-Headers are being parsed into a plain object in an interceptor.
-In Vue-resource 1.x `headers` object was changed into an `Headers` object. In order to not change all old code, an interceptor was added.
-
-If you need to write a unit test that takes the headers in consideration, you need to include an interceptor to parse the headers after your test interceptor.
-You can see an example in `spec/javascripts/environments/environment_spec.js`:
- ```javascript
- import { headersInterceptor } from './helpers/vue_resource_helper';
-
- beforeEach(() => {
- Vue.http.interceptors.push(myInterceptor);
- Vue.http.interceptors.push(headersInterceptor);
- });
-
- afterEach(() => {
- Vue.http.interceptors = _.without(Vue.http.interceptors, myInterceptor);
- Vue.http.interceptors = _.without(Vue.http.interceptors, headersInterceptor);
- });
- ```
-
-#### `.json()`
-When making a request to the server, you will most likely need to access the body of the response.
-Use `.json()` to convert. Because `.json()` returns a Promise the follwoing structure should be used:
-
- ```javascript
- service.get('url')
- .then(resp => resp.json())
- .then((data) => {
- this.store.storeData(data);
- })
- .catch(() => new Flash('Something went wrong'));
- ```
-
-When using `Poll` (`app/assets/javascripts/lib/utils/poll.js`), the `successCallback` needs to handle `.json()` as a Promise:
- ```javascript
- successCallback: (response) => {
- return response.json().then((data) => {
- // handle the response
- });
- }
- ```
-
-#### CSRF token
-We use a Vue Resource interceptor to manage the CSRF token.
-`app/assets/javascripts/vue_shared/vue_resource_interceptor.js` holds all our common interceptors.
-Note: You don't need to load `app/assets/javascripts/vue_shared/vue_resource_interceptor.js`
-since it's already being loaded by `common_vue.js`.

+
+### 204
+Some endpoints - usually `delete` endpoints - return `204` as the success response.
+When handling `204 - No Content` responses, we cannot use `.json()` since it tries to parse the non-existant body content.
+
+When handling `204` responses, do not use `.json`, otherwise the promise will throw an error and will enter the `catch` statement:
+
+```javascript
+ Vue.http.delete('path')
