In my routes.php I have:
Route::patch('/preferences/{id}', 'UserController#update');
And in the view file (account/preferences.blade.php) I have:
{!! Form::model(Auth::user(), ['method' => 'PATCH', 'route' => '/preferences/' . Auth::user()->id]) !!}
But I'm getting this error:
Route [/preferences/1] not defined
A similar error occurs when calling the route() helper directly:
route('/preferences/' . Auth::user()->id');
I think I'm misunderstanding the docs on this topic but I've defined a route for PATCH requests with a given parameter, and set this in the view correctly. What am I overlooking here?
The route() method, which is called when you do ['route' => 'someroute'] in a form opening, wants what's called a named route. You give a route a name like this:
Route::patch('/preferences/{id}',[
'as' => 'user.preferences.update',
'uses' => 'UserController#update'
]);
That is, you make the second argument of the route into an array, where you specify both the route name (the as), and also what to do when the route is hit (the uses).
Then, when you open the form, you call the route:
{!! Form::model(Auth::user(), [
'method' => 'PATCH',
'route' => ['user.preferences.update', Auth::user()->id]
]) !!}
Now, for a route without parameters, you could just do 'route' => 'routename', but since you have a parameter, you make an array instead and supply the parameters in order.
All that said, since you appear to be updating the current user's preferences, I would advise you to let the handling controller check the id of the currently logged-in user, and base the updating on that - there's no need to send in the id in the url and the route unless your users should need to update the preferences of other users as well. :)
This thread is old but was the first one to come up so I thought id share my solution too. Apart from having named routes in your routes.php file. This error can also occur when you have duplicate URLs in your routes file, but with different names, the error can be misleading in this scenario. Example:
Route::any('official/form/reject-form', 'FormStatus#rejectForm')
->name('reject-form');
Route::any('official/form/accept-form', 'FormStatus#acceptForm')
->name('accept-form');
Changing one of the names solves the problem. Copy, pasting, & fatigue can lead you to this problem :).
If route is not defined, then check web.php routing file.
Route::get('/map', 'NavigationController#map')->name('map'); // note the name() method.
Then you can use this method in the views:
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ route('map') }}">{{ __('Map') }}</a>
PS: the __('Map') is to translate "Map" to the current language.
And the list of names for routes you can see with artisan command:
php artisan route:list
I'm using Laravel 5.7 and tried all of the above answers but nothing seemed to be hitting the spot.
For me, it was a rather simple fix by removing the cache files created by Laravel.
It seemed that my changes were not being reflected, and therefore my application wasn't seeing the routes.
A bit overkill, but I decided to reset all my cache at the same time using the following commands:
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan cache:clear
The main one here is the first command which will delete the bootstrap/cache/routes.php file.
The second command will remove the cached files for the views that are stored in the storage/framework/cache folder.
Finally, the last command will clear the application cache.
when you execute the command
php artisan route:list
You will see all your registered routes in there in table format .
Well there you see many columns like Method , URI , Name , Action .. etc.
So basically if you are using route() method that means it will accept only name column values and if you want to use URI column values you should go with url() method of laravel.
One more cause for this:
If the routes are overridden with the same URI (Unknowingly), it causes this error:
Eg:
Route::get('dashboard', ['uses' => 'SomeController#index', 'as' => 'my.dashboard']);
Route::get('dashboard/', ['uses' => 'SomeController#dashboard', 'as' => 'my.home_dashboard']);
In this case route 'my.dashboard' is invalidate as the both routes has same URI ('dashboard', 'dashboard/')
Solution: You should change the URI for either one
Eg:
Route::get('dashboard', ['uses' => 'SomeController#index', 'as' => 'my.dashboard']);
Route::get('home-dashboard', ['uses' => 'SomeController#dashboard', 'as' => 'my.home_dashboard']);
// See the URI changed for this 'home-dashboard'
Hope it helps some once.
My case is a bit different, since it is not a form but to return a view. Add method ->name('route').
MyView.blade.php looks like this:
CATEGORIES
And web.php routes file is defined like this:
Route::view('admin', 'admin.index')->name('admin');
i had the same issue and find the solution lately.
you should check if your route is rather inside a route::group
like here:
Route::group(['prefix' => 'Auth', 'as' => 'Auth.', 'namespace' => 'Auth', 'middleware' => 'Auth']
if so you should use it in the view file. like here:
!! Form::model(Auth::user(), ['method' => 'PATCH', 'route' => 'Auth.preferences/' . Auth::user()->id]) !!}
In my case the solution was simple:
I have defined the route at the very start of the route.php file.
After moving the named route to the bottom, my app finally saw it.
It means that somehow the route was defined too early.
On a side note:
I had the similar issues where many times I get the error Action method not found, but clearly it is define in controller.
The issue is not in controller, but rather how routes.php file is setup
Lets say you have Controller class set as a resource in route.php file
Route::resource('example', 'ExampleController');
then '/example' will have all RESTful Resource listed here:
http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/controllers#restful-resource-controllers
but now you want to have some definition in form e.g: 'action'=>'ExampleController#postStore' then you have to change this route (in route.php file) to:
Route::controller('example', 'ExampleController');
Please note that the command
php artisan route:list
Or to get more filter down list
php artisan route:list | grep your_route|your_controller
the forth column tells you the names of routes that are registered (usually generated by Route::resource)
I have a program that uses $router->resource([]). I use laravel-admin.
here my routes.php
$router->resources([
'programs' => ProgramController::class,
'programs/categories' => ProgramCategoryController::class,
]);
on my programs its work well with all the crud operation.
but on my programs/categories its not working, said not found. did route controller must use different url?...
i mean my category can't be child from my programs with different controller?...
Try changing "programs/categories" to "programs.categories"
You want to add "programs" prefix to categories resource routes. You can do it by changing you code as follows:
$router->resources([
'programs' => ProgramController::class,
]);
// to add programs prefix to categories routes
Route::group(['prefix' => 'programs'], function () use ($router) {
$router->resource('categories', ProgramCategoryController::class);
// here you can add more routes and all those routes will have
// "programs" prefix in there url
});
refer to https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/controllers#resource-controllers
Supplementing Resource Controllers
If you need to add additional routes to a resource controller beyond the default set of resource routes, you should define those routes before your call to Route::resource; otherwise, the routes defined by the resource method may unintentionally take precedence over your supplemental routes:
Route::get('photos/popular', 'PhotoController#method');
Route::resource('photos', 'PhotoController');
So on my case above, just simply change this:
$router->resources([
'programs' => ProgramController::class,
'programs/categories' => ProgramCategoryController::class,
]);
to this :
$router->resources([
'programs/categories' => ProgramCategoryController::class,
'programs' => ProgramController::class,
]);
and it's working well now, also both crud operations.
it's not an optimal solution but its working for me.
I want my user to access its profile edit page by URL: /profile/slug/edit, where slug means $user->slug.
My web.php contans:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
Route::get('/profile/{slug}', [
'uses' => 'ProfilesController#index',
'as' => 'profile'
]);
Route::get('/profile/{slug}/edit', [
'uses' => 'ProfilesController#edit',
'as' => 'profile.edit'
]);
How to call ProfilesController#edit from view, how to pass parameters correctly? Tried:
<a href="{{route('profile', ['slug'=> Auth::user()->slug],'edit')}}">
Edit your profile</a>
Here is how I would do it..
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function () {
Route::get('/profile/{slug}', 'ProfilesController#index')->name('profile');
Route::get('/profile/{slug}/edit', 'ProfilesController#edit')->name('profile.edit');
});
And then in your view, you can use..
Edit your profile
As you can see, first we have to give the route() the route name we are interested in, in your case it's profile.edit that is the target route, and we know from our routes file that it's missing the slug value, so we provide it the slug value as the second argument (if there are more missing values, the second argument should be an array).
It takes some practice and time but try different ways to see what makes your code more readable. The number of lines doesn't matter that much to the computer, write the code so you can easily read and understand it if you want to change something a year or two from now.
You can use following codeline
Edit your profile
Your routes definitions seems to be fine.
Plus if you want to add some get params, you can add directly in the array passed as the second argument
Edit your profile
Hope this helps. :)
I'm really enjoying Laravel and I have a question.
I am trying to create an edit form that uses a form partial. I am trying to follow the RESTful conventions as much as possible.
This is the case, I am trying to update an record in the database re using the request in the parameters like following:
public function tarief_range_update($id, TariefRangeRequest $request){
$tarief = Tarief_range::find($id);
$tarief->update($request->all);
return redirect('/koerier/'. Input::get('koerier_id'));
}
I made the following route:
Route::patch('/tarief_range/{tarief_range}', ['as' => 'tarief_range.update', 'uses' => 'TarievenController#tarief_range_update']);
And I am using the following form open tag (with form-model binding)
{!! Form::model($tarief_range, ['method' => 'PATCH', 'action' => ['TarievenController#tarief_range_update', $tarief_range->id]]) !!}
It generates the following error:
I know theres Route::resource but I rather configure it the "manual" way.
Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::update() must
be of the type array, null given, called in
/home/vagrant/Code/my-first-app/app/Http/Controllers/TarievenController.php
on line 34 and defined
I have a resource route and it generates the same route (when I list them with route:list in artisan) and it has the same Form model binding and the same parameters in the update function.
What am I doing wrong?
Ok. Im stupid...
$tarief->update($request->all);
Should be
$tarief->update($request->all());

In my case, I was using a duplicate method. I was trying to update like this:
Route::get('/preferences/{id}', 'UserController#edit');
Route::get('/preferences/{id}', 'UserController#update');
When what I meant to do was something similar to this:
Route::get('/preferences/{id}', 'UserController#edit');
Route::post('/preferences/{id}', 'UserController#update');
Notice the get and post methods are different but the URLs are the same.
