[Resource Controller] route("resource.destroy") calls "resource.show"

replied 10 years ago

Solution

As current browsers do not implement DELETE verb Laravel simulates it via hidden fields. You have to do it with help of Form like this:

{{ Form::open(array('route' => array('accounts.destroy', $accountID), 'method' => 'delete')) }}
    <button type="submit" >Delete Account</button>
{{ Form::close() }}

For those who don't want to use forms but javascript... Apparently, as i just found out, jQuery does the trick, too...

function checkDelete(id) {
if (confirm('Really delete?')) {
    $.ajax({
      type: "DELETE",
      url: '/<resource>/' + id,
      success: function(result) {
        // do something
      }
    });
  }
}

<a href="javascript:checkDelete(1);">...</a>

The advantage of this approach is that you can cancel it because of the confirmation box.

You can also just the unobtrusive jquery adapter: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs That looks for data attributes, for methods (post/put/delete), confirm popups or send as ajax, without any additional javascript.

<a href="{{ route('accounts.destroy',array($accountID)) }}" data-method="delete" rel="nofollow" data-confirm="Are you sure you want to delete this?">Delete this entry</a>
