Laravel Ajax 500 Internal Error

I have gone through many threads about this error, but none helped my case. I have implemented AJAX Post from the blade view to store some data in a table. But the execution of the code stops at $.ajax(), showing 500 Internal Error for Post. Using Dev Tools, the Laravel side error shown was, Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: POST. for the URL in the POST Request. Here are the snippets for reference, blade view:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {

            $.ajaxSetup({
                headers: {
                    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
                }
            });
            
            var events = @json($events);

            $('#calendar').fullCalendar({

                    $('#saveBtn').click(function() {
                        var title = $('#title').val();
                        var start = moment(start).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
                        var end = moment(end).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

                        $.ajax({
                            url: "{{ route('calendar.store') }}",
                            type: 'post',
                            dataType: 'json',
                            data:{title: title, start: start, end: end, type: 'add'},
                            success:function(response)
                            {
                                $('#addEventModal').modal('hide')
                                $('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', {
                                    'title': response.title,
                                    'start' : response.start,
                                    'end'  : response.end
                                });
                            },
                            error:function(error)
                            {
                                if(error.responseJSON.errors) {
                                    $('#titleError').html(error.responseJSON.errors.title);
                                }
                            },
                        })

                    });
            });            
        });
    </script>

Controller:

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required|string'
        ]);

        $event = Events::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'start_date' => $request->start_date,
            'end_date' => $request->end_date,
        ]);

        return response()->json([
            'id' => $event->id,
            'start' => $event->start_date,
            'end' => $event->end_date,
            'title' => $event->title,

        ]);
    }

routes.php:

Route::get('calendar/index', [App\Http\Controllers\CalendarController::class, 'index'])->name('calendar.index');
Route::post('calendar', [App\Http\Controllers\CalendarController::class, 'store'])->name('calendar.store');

Though the URL has a post route, I am facing this error. I have also tried sending the token as _token through the data array in AJAX Post, but the issue persists. I did not find any info in the log as well. I tried multiple solutions but could not get this part to work.

@Reenter05 what can you see in the Browser console and/or the Network request/response devtools?

@tykus thanks a lot, I have went through these tabs many times, but overlooked an important message. The table was in a different database and was not accessible. I changed the database and everything sorted. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for your help!

@Reenter05 okay - amazing what information is available whenever you look in the right places.

Mark the thread solved if you're all set.

I believe its method, not type

type: 'post', // before
method: 'post', //after

@tykus because i have experienced these type of error many times and the solution was nothing but clearing the cache

@CODE-AXION you suggested to put to the cache, not to clear it
