I am working on a Laravel 5 RESTful API that seems not to be routing the POST requests correctly.
This is my routes.php:
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'api/v1'), function()
{
Route::resource('messages', 'IncomingMessages');
});
And this is my controller:
class IncomingMessages extends Controller
{
public function index() {
return "This is index";
}
public function store() {
return "This is store";
}
public function update() {
return "This is update";
}
}
And this is what happens:
- Request
GET mydomain.com/api/v1/messages/
--> This is index - Request
PUT mydomain.com/api/v1/messages/1
--> This is update - Request
POST mydomain.com/api/v1/messages/
--> This is index
This is what php artisan route:list
returns:
- GET|HEAD : api/v1/messages : api.v1.messages.index : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@index
- GET|HEAD : api/v1/messages/create : api.v1.messages.create : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@create
- POST : api/v1/messages : api.v1.messages.store : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@store
- GET|HEAD : api/v1/messages/{messages} : api.v1.messages.show : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@show
- GET|HEAD : api/v1/messages/{messages}/edit : api.v1.messages.edit : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@edit
- PUT : api/v1/messages/{messages} :api.v1.messages.update ; App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@update
- PATCH : api/v1/messages/{messages} : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@update
- DELETE : api/v1/messages/{messages} : api.v1.messages.destroy : App\Http\Controllers\IncomingMessages@destroy
So, my question is:
What am I missing? Why is it routing to index()
instead of routing to store()
?
NOTES:
- I have disabled "VerifyCsrfToken" in
Kernel.php
- I am trying the requests using Chromium plugin "Postman".
UPDATE:
The problem was adding a trailing /
to the URL. So, instead of using this URL:
mydomain.com/api/v1/messages/
I tried with this one:
mydomain.com/api/v1/messages
and it worked
