Laravel 5.4 redirect taking method from request ob

问题:

Recently I have started a Laravel 5.4 project and I found something I don't quite understand and I'm posting this question hoping to solve this issue and find out if it's expected behaviour or a bug.

The thing is, I'm submitting an update form which looks like so:

<form id="post-form" action="{{url('admin/posts/'.$post->id)}}" method="POST">
  {{ csrf_field() }}
  {{ method_field('PUT') }}
  <!-- Some fields -->
</form>

And I try to validate that request on the controller method:

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        // Fields to validate
    ]);
if ($validator->fails()) {
   return back()
   ->withErrors($validator)
   ->withInput();
}

My problem comes when the validation fails and the redirect is performed, because I get a code 405 error MethodNotAllowedHttpException.

Indeed, the url is correct but the method is wrong, as shown in the HTTP headers:

Request URL:https://myproject.dev/admin/posts/1/edit
Request Method:PUT
Status Code:405 
Remote Address:127.0.0.1:443
Referrer Policy:no-referrer-when-downgrade

It should be a GET instead of a PUT. My best guess is that is using the _method property of the $request object to redirect, instead of using the GET method.

A dump($request->all()) right before the redirect call:

array:19 [
  "_token" => "XOtwEeXwgnuc8fNqCwxkdO992bU6FObDwTuCg1cJ"
  "_method" => "PUT"
  //fields
]

Some things I have already tried with no luck:

• Unsetting the _method from the request: unset($request['_method'])

• Name the route and redirect based in that name:

  // The routes file (routes/web.php)
  Route::get('posts/{id}/edit', 'PostsController@edit')->name('edit-post');
  
  // The redirect (controller)
  return redirect()->route('edit-post', ['id' => 1])
      ->withErrors($validator)
      ->withInput();
  

• Specify the url in the redirect

  // The redirect (controller)
  return redirect('admin/posts/'.$post->id.'/edit')
      ->withErrors($validator)
      ->withInput();
  

So how could I perform that redirect with a normal GET method? Is this an expected behaviour? Thank you in advance, any advice or hint is much appreciated.

回答1:

You need a separate put route in your routes.php file.

Route::get('posts/{id}/edit', 'PostsController@edit')->name('edit-post');
Route::put('posts/{id}/edit', 'PostsController@edit')->name('edit-post');

The get function means this route will handle routes using the GET method. You need to add a put to handle requests using the PUT method. All available route methods are available in the documentation.

You can also use the match function to match multiple methods in one line. Like so:

Route::match(['get', 'put'], 'posts/{id}/edit', 'PostsController@edit');
