How to resolve a "MethodNotAllowedHttpException" error in Laravel?

Question

I am developing a passport API in Laravel. I am getting a "MethodNotAllowedHttpException".

I don't get any idea, what fix do I have to do.

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| API Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register API routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| is assigned the "api" middleware group. Enjoy building your API!
|
*/
Route::post('register', 'Api\Auth\RegisterController@register');
Route::post('login', 'Api\Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('refresh', 'Api\Auth\LoginController@refresh');

Route::middleware('auth:api')->group(function () {
    Route::post('logout', 'Api\Auth\LoginController@logout');
    Route::get('posts', 'Api\PostController@index');
});

When visiting `register` in your browser, you're using `GET`, but your routes only permit `POST`. You will probably need `curl` or Postman to test your API. — halfer, Aug 06 '17 at 08:19

this error can occur due to request type (GET / POST) mismatch in your route and the request type in your API call or form tag in your view

check if the request type matched in your route file and in your APIcall

See, you use 'post' method in your route:

Route::post('register', 'Api\Auth\RegisterController@register');

And the browser's default is 'get'. Are you trying to show a registration form or you are submitting a form to that route.

Either you should change that route to GET or create another route to show the page, then submit the form as post to the intended route
