Delete route don't work with web.php laravel
Hey!! I'm trying to make delete route in web.php like this:
Route::delete('delete/{id}', [App\Http\Controllers\ProductrsController::class, 'destroy']);
This is the controller destroy method :
public function destroy($id)
{
$filepath = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\lec5HW\Products.json';
$fileContent = file_get_contents($filepath);
$jsonContent = json_decode($fileContent, true);
if ($id < 0 || $id > count($jsonContent)) {
return response()->json(['messege' => 'wrong ID'], 400);
}
unset($jsonContent[$id - 1]);
file_put_contents($filepath, json_encode(array_values($jsonContent)));
return response()->json(['messege' => 'Product has been deleted successfully', 'data' => $jsonContent], 200);
}
And I'm getting this error on the browser:
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException
The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: DELETE.
The same function works on api.php without problems using Postman application. So am I doing something wrong or it's a problem with laravel ??

the problem is the way you call the route in the browser but you don't show that?

@Snapey In the browser URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/delete/1

@Philip Droubi No. Show the blade/javascript that calls the url

@Philip Droubi Paste the code of Blade view file form which you are sending this request. We don't know if you are using just a simple anchor tag <a></a> or a form with GET Request.

@Sinnbeck @furqanDev , I'm not using any Blade view files I'm calling the method by typing : http://127.0.0.1:8000/delete/1 manually in the URL. XAMPP is running and All other methods work correctly except for the delete method

@Philip Droubi That isnt possible. You are expecting a DELETE call, but are your a GET call (call url in the browser). So either use Postman, or do it in code. There is no way of calling a delete route in the url bar in the browser.

@Philip Droubi If you want to do such thing then use GET request and this method is not good in some cases.
But if you want to do it then change the route like.
Route::get('delete/{id}', [App\Http\Controllers\ProductrsController::class, 'destroy']);

Only use a get route as a test.. Don't do this in production.. It will be way to easy to just post a link on a page that will delete stuff for a user.

Hello,
we need to see the view (blade) code for detect where is exactly the issue, or please try with this code for calling destroy method :
< form method="post" action="{{route('products.destroy',$product->id)}}"> @method('delete') @csrf < button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Delete< /button >

Please try with this code in web.php : Route::delete('/products/{id}', [\App\Http\Controllers\ProductrsController::class, 'destroy']) ->name('products.destroy');
i hope if that can help you.
