You could use an AJAX request with $http:

var customers = [
   { id: 1, name: 'John' },
   { id: 2, name: 'Smith' }
];

$http({ 
    method: 'DELETE', 
    url: '/customer',
    data: customers
}).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
    alert('success');
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
    alert('error');
});

You should probably use $http in angularjs rather than normal http.

function Delete(customer) {
        var promise = $http.post(
            '/customer',
            { customer: customer}
        ).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            return data;
        }).error(function (data) {
            return data;
        });
        return promise;
    }
