i am getting this error for deleting a record, detail issue is below. " The GET method is not s-CodePudding

I am deleting a record and getting the above error but when I go back the record is deleted. Why I am getting an error if the record is deleted when I go back? I tried solving like this: this is my view blade page route

<a href='/DeleteCandidateID/{{$candidate_id->id}}'><i class="fas fa-trash fa-lg text-danger"></i></a>

I tried this as well:

form method as well but getting same answer

and this is my web.php

Route::post('/DeleteCandidateID/{CanDelID}', 'CandidateController@DeleteCandidateID')->name('candidate.DeleteCandidateID');

this is my controller :

 public function DeleteCandidateID($CanDelID) {

    $canid = Candidate::findOrFail($CanDelID)->delete();

    return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'candidate deleted successfully');
}

FIRST POSSIBILITY :

You added a simple link and in your routes file you indicated that you are waiting a POST request, so you need to add a form in your blade view with the POST method:

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('candidate.DeleteCandidateID', ['CanDelID' => $candidate_id->id]) }}">
   <button type="submit">Delete the candidate</button>
   @csrf
</form>

SECOND POSSIBILITY :

Following this post, if the problem still persists, you can try to keep your link :

<a href='/DeleteCandidateID/{{$candidate_id->id}}'><i class="fas fa-trash fa-lg text-danger"></i></a>

And change Route::post(...) to Route::get(...). I think it can fix your problem but it's definilty not the best way.

THIRD POSSIBILITY :

Overide the POST method with method_field :

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('candidate.DeleteCandidateID', ['CanDelID' => $candidate_id->id]) }}">
   <button type="submit">Delete the candidate</button>
   @csrf
   {{ method_field('DELETE') }}
</form>

And change your route to : Route::delete(...)

CodePudding user response：

Your route should use delete method on your route. Run php artisan route:list to confirm that.

Route::Delete('/DeleteCandidateID/{CanDelID}','CandidateController@DeleteCandidateID')->name('candidate.DeleteCandidateID');

Use a form to delete and Laravel will interpret this second argument ['CanDelID' => $candidate_id->id] the way you've written it as as a query string so replace it with the id of the candidate. Your migration will help to see how you've labelled that if you can provide it.
```
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('candidate.DeleteCandidateID', $idOfTheCandidate) }}">
          @csrf
          @method('delete')
          <button type="submit">Delete the candidate</button>
      </form>
```
That should work and note @method('delete') in the form. Browsers do not understand delete an put methods, so we place it there and it will override post method when the server is hit.
