Delete products url not working in Laravel - php

Question

I want a user to delete a product when he clicks unlike button but I'm getting an error 404 url not found, but I have the url.
If I put dd($product) before $like = Like::findOrFail($product);
it displays the id(4) but if I put dd($like), then it throws an error 404. How can I make this function work?.
Controller
public function destroy($product)
{
$like = Like::findOrFail($product);
dd($like);
$like->delete();
return 'done';
}
Blade
<a class="remove" href="{{ route('product.unlike', ['product' => $product->id]) }}" > Unlike </a>
Route
Route::get('product/{product}/unlike', ['as' => 'product.unlike', 'uses' => 'LikeController#destroy']);
Like.php
class Like extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $table = 'likeables';
protected $fillable = [
'user_id',
'product_id',
'likeable_id',
'likeable_type',
];
public function products()
{
return $this->morphedByMany('App\Product', 'likeable');
}

Answer 1

delete request should be post request not get
web.php
Route::delete('product/{product}/unlike','LikeController#destroy')->name('product.unlike');
blade.php
<form action="{{ route('product.unlike',[$product->id]) }}" method="post">
#csrf
#method('DELETE')
<button type="submit" class="remove"> Unlike </button>
</form>
controller
use App\Product;
...
public function destroy(Product $product) {
$product->delete();
return 'done';
}
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Detach the Products corresponding to the like.
public function destroy($product)
{
Like::where('product_id', $product)
->where('user_id', auth()->user()->id)
->delete();
return 'done';
}

findOrFail will throw an exception which will cause the 404 when it can't find a record. You are using SoftDeletes so the record can exist in the database but doesn't mean that it hasn't been 'soft deleted'. If it has been soft deleted the scope will make it act like it isn't there.
Check your record with id == 4 to see if it has a deleted_at column with a value. If it does, it was deleted (soft deleted). You will have to adjust your query to be able to retrieve soft deleted records.
