Can't delete from SQLite table in Laravel - php

Question

I'm Doing a "take home assignment" for job interview. While I have some experience in web development, its not my forte. I am trying to delete a row in a SQLite table using a HTML DELETE button. I am using Laravel-php framework.
I've tried different solutions on google and stack Overflow, but none seem to solve the problem. I modeled my approach after this Laracasts video
Link to my code
The blade seems to be passing the correct info ($id from $contact->id) & the controller seems to be receiving. But the given contact associated with the id isn't being deleted.
FROM BLADE:
<div class="col-md-6">
<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>
#foreach($contacts as $contact)
<tr>
<td> {{$contact->f_name}} </td>
<td> {{$contact->l_name}} </td>
<td> {{$contact->address}} </td>
<td>
<form method="POST" action="/delete/{{ $contact->id }}">
#method('DELETE')
#csrf
<div class="field">
<div class="control">
<button type="submit" class="button">Delete Contact</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
FROM CONTROLLER:
public function delete($id) {
Contact::find($id)->delete();
return view('index');
}
FROM ROUTE:
Route::delete('/delete', [
'uses'=>'ContactController#delete',
'as'=>'contacts.delete'
]);

Answer 1

you're not getting the id on your delete method, you need to include it on the url like
Route::delete('/delete/{id}', [
'uses'=>'ContactController#delete',
'as'=>'contacts.delete'
]);
in this case, you don't need to change the delete method.
you can also retrieve the id from the request object without changing the delete route, int this case you need to include the id as a hidden input on your view and your delete method will look like this
public function delete(Request $request) {
Contact::find($request->id)->delete();
return view('index');
}
