The delete handler is also defined for the same paths as read and update. The code is pretty straightforward:

func deleteHotel(c *gin.Context) { 
   hotelId:= c.Param("id") 
   _, found:= repository[hotelId] 
   if !found { 
         c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, gin.H{"status": "hotel with id not found"}) 
   } else { 
         delete(repository, hotelId) 
         //return OK 
         c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "ok"}) 
   } 
} 

If a hotel with the id is not found, then we return 404 (http.StatusNotFound), or else we delete it from the map and return HTTP status code 200 (http.StatusOK).
