Laravel 5.2 - Delete from db - php

Question

I am using Laravel Framework version 5.2.45.
I have created a simple view that outputs my todos:
#foreach($todos as $todo)
{{ $todo->todo }} <button href="{{ route('todo.delete', ['id' => $todo->id]) }}" class="btn btn-danger">x</button>
<hr>
#endforeach
Within my routes I have created the following route to delete a todo:
Route::get('/todo/delete/{id}', [
'uses' => 'TodosController#delete',
'as' => 'todo.delete'
]);
Within my TodosController I created the following delete method:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Todo;
class TodosController extends Controller
{
public function delete($id) {
$todo = Todo::find($id);
$todo->delete();
return redirect()->back();
}
// ...
When I press the button in the frontend nothing happens. I do not get any error...
Any suggestions what is wrong with my implementation?
Appreciate your replies!

Answer 1

You are using button not tag
turn your code from
#foreach($todos as $todo)
{{ $todo->todo }} <button href="{{ route('todo.delete', ['id' => $todo->id]) }}" class="btn btn-danger">x</button>
<hr>
#endforeach
to
#foreach($todos as $todo)
{{ $todo->todo }} x
<hr>
#endforeach

Answer 2

Try Below code, You have used a button instead of a tag
#foreach($todos as $todo)
{{ $todo->todo }} x
<hr>
#endforeach

Answer 3

You should do like this :
Delete Button :
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{ route('todo.delete',$todo->id) }}">Delete</a>
And delete function look like below :
public function delete($id) {
try {
$delete_flag = Todo::where(['id' => $id])->first();
$delete_flag->delete();
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Todo deleted successfully');
} catch (Exception $ex) {
return redirect()->back()->with('error', 'Something went wrong');
}
}

Answer 4

#foreach($todos as $todo)
{{ $todo->todo }} x
#endforeach
delete code--
$toDo = Todo::findOrFail($id)->delete();
if($toDo){
return response()->josn(['message'=>'deleted']);
}
