How to make a delete request with Laravel

Viewed 18112

I am not using resource controller.

The route:

Route::delete('/deleteTag/{tag}','Controller2@deleteTag');

The controller function:

public function deleteTag(Tag $tag){
  $Tag = Tag::where('id', $tag->id)->get()->first();
  $Tag->delete();
  return redirect()->action('Controller2@main');
}

The call:

<form method="delete" action="http://***/public/deleteTag/{{$tag->id}}"> 
    {!! Form::token() !!} 
    <button type="submit">delete</button>
</form>

The program returns a MethodNotAllowedHttpException.

Thank you.

It's better to change your route to this mode:

Route::resource('tags','TagController');

You should register a resourceful route to the controller. This single route declaration creates multiple routes to handle a variety of RESTful actions on the Tag resource. Remember, since HTML forms can't make PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests, you will need to add a hidden _method field to spoof these HTTP verbs.

<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">

or add this in your form

{{method_field('DELETE')}}
