How to fix laravel update endpoint?-CodePudding

I'm trying to update a user.

Here is my model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, Notifiable;

    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'user_type',
        'username'
    ];

    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

Here is the update controller:

public function update(Request $request, User $user)
{
    $user->update($request->all());

    return response()->json($user, 200);
}

Here is the api.php:

Route::group([
    'prefix' => 'users',
    'middleware' => ['cors', 'json.response', 'auth:api']
], function () {
    Route::put('/{user}', [UserController::class, 'update']);
});

I'm sending request with VSCode extension like this:

PUT {{server}}/users/2
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

{
    "name": "Jane Doe",
}

But it's not changing the name. I couldn't understand what am I missing.

I have tried to change the selecting User data on my own. But not working.

I think it's about not extending use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;.

CodePudding user response：

Probably controller can't find $user. Change your code to $user = auth('api')->user(); in update function. And delete User $user from brackets.

CodePudding user response：

Check all your existing routes with php artisan route:list. You'll notice that your route is just a wildcard.

Update your route to look like this:

Route::put('users/{user}', [UserController::class, 'update']);
