I am working with Laravel and Inertia+Vue.js.
I am trying to delete a row but I get a 405 error method not allowed.
Here is my code in Layout.vue :
<a @click="destroy(website)">delete</a>
import AppLayout from '@/Layouts/AppLayout.vue';
import {Link} from "@inertiajs/inertia-vue3";
import {Inertia} from "@inertiajs/inertia";
export default {
components: {
Link, AppLayout, Inertia
},
props: {
websites: Object
},
methods: {
destroy(website) {
if(confirm('are u sure?')) {
this.$inertia.delete(`/destroy/website/${website.id}`)
}
}
},
the method in my controller :
public function destroy(Website $website)
{
$website->delete();
return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}
and my route in web.php :
Route::delete('/destroy/website/{id}', [WebsiteController::class, 'destroy']);
any help will be much appreciated !
405 indicates that method is not supported on that URL ... I would inspect the network to see what request you are actually making from the browser, and run artisan route:list to verify that your route has been defined correctly.
Bear in mind that the delete method is spoofed by laravel by posting an additional form variable with a POST request.
@splatEric the request is the following : DELETE https://website.fr/destroy/website/2 as it appears in network panel when I want to delete the website with id 2
As in that answer: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/inertia/send-a-delete-request-and-redirect-back-405-error?page=1&replyId=756664
Add \Inertia\Middleware::class to the 'web' middleware group in Kernel.php
You need to add Inertia middleware: https://inertiajs.com/server-side-setup#middleware
@MohamedTammam I came across this topic as well. It doesnt work for me.
@ruben777 What's the result of
public function destroy(Website $website)
{
dd('here'); // Does it get here?
$website->delete();
return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}
@MohamedTammam it does get here. the answer was to set the route like this :
Route::delete('/destroy/website/{website}', [WebsiteController::class, 'destroy']);
thank you for your time !
You are using a link (a tag) but not preventing the default behaviour
<a @click.prevent="destroy(website)">delete</a>
Or better; use a button instead:
<button @click="destroy(website)">delete</button>
Of course, since this is Inertia, you could instead use the Link component - although the caveat about using an anchor tag still applies!!!
@tykus Just signed up to say thank you! This was my problem, I was using a button with a click function inside a <Link> tag and it was messing everything up
the answer was to set the route like this :
Route::delete('/destroy/website/{website}', [WebsiteController::class, 'destroy']);
thank you all for your time !
@ruben777 that should not have resulted in a 405 🤔
@tykus the thing is that I work in a root directory /app so my URL always looks something like this : website.fr/app/page.
I have no right to access what is not in app/ directory and my first request was outside that directory. giving {website} instead of {id} is passing the whole model to the back-end and. In other words, my first request was like this : website.fr/destroy/website/id, now it looks the good way, website.fr/app/destroy/website/id
@ruben777 so there was a redirect - that would result in a 405 🤷♂️
@tykus yes I also used a button just as you said but this answer did not work alone
