How to delete user in laravel 5.7?

Question

I'm migrating my app from laravel 4.2 to 5.7. I have this logic to delete a user: this action is triggred onclick

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

$.ajax({
    type: "DELETE",
    url: "{{ URL::to('administrator/admin-delete') }}"+"/"+id
});

In my route file:

Route::delete('admin-delete', 'UsersController@removeAdminDelete');

and in my controller:

public function removeAdminDelete($id)
{
    $user = Admin::find($id);
    File::delete($user->photo);
    $user->delete();
    Session::flash('successDelete', "ok");
    if(Auth::user()->id == $id){
        Auth::user()->logout();
        return Redirect::to("administrator");
    }else{
        return Redirect::back();
    }
}

when i try to remove a user i get this error in my console:

DELETE my_delete_url 419 (unknown status)!!

After edit i get 404 error !!

A 419 error in Laravel means that you haven't provided a token for csrf.

As shown in the dos you can add a meta tag to the head of your page with the token in:

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

and then set up your ajax requests to include it all the time:

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

NB Make sure you add the above code after you've pulled in jQuery and before you make the ajax request.

Furthermore, you should use delete and not resource for your route.

Change

Route::resource('admin-delete', 'UsersController@removeAdminDelete');

to

Route::delete('admin-delete/{id}', 'UsersController@removeAdminDelete');

i'm editing my question to display the modification i apllied – Youssef Boudaya Jan 22 '19 at 09:18
@YoussefBoudaya I'd missed off the `id` param for the route. I've updated my answer (specifically the `Route::delete(...)` bit). – Rwd Jan 22 '19 at 11:53
yes that's what causing the problem and also adding the ajaxsetup solved it – Youssef Boudaya Jan 22 '19 at 14:59
@YoussefBoudaya If this has answered your question please may you mark it as accepted :) Thanks. – Rwd Jan 18 '20 at 12:51

It seems it is related to csrf token. try to add csrf token in your ajax call like this:

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

and setup your ajax with this header:

$.ajaxSetup({
  headers: {
    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('#csrftoken').attr('content')
  }
});

simply add $.ajaxSetup({ ... }) before your $.ajax({...}) – Mehrdad Mahdian Jan 22 '19 at 11:28
