Deleting or Updating posts in LARAVEL using controller - php

Question

{!! Form::open(['action'=>['PostsController#update',$post->id],'method'=>'POST']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('title', 'Title')}}
{{Form::text('title', $post->title,['class'=>'form-
control','placeholder'=>'Title'])}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('body', 'Body')}}
{{Form::textarea('body', $post->body,['id'=>'article
ckeditor','class'=>'form-control','placeholder'=>'Body Text'])}}
</div>
{{Form::hidden('_method','PUT')}}
{{Form::submit('Update',['class'=>'btn btn-success'])}}
{!! Form::close() !!}
I am using this {{ Form::hidden('_method','PUT') }} to update my post because there is no other way. Is there any better way or not?
Here is my controller (postcontroller):
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$this->validate($request,[
'title' => 'required',
'body' => 'required'
]);
$post = Post::find($id);
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->body = $request->body;
$post->save();
return redirect('/posts')->with('success','Post Updated Sucessfully');
}

This is the default and correct way to use UPDATE form. You have to use POST in form method and PUT as request parameter (hidden) with form.
What you missed here is CSRF token in form, which can be used in multiple ways like:
{!! Form::token() !!}
{!! Form::hidden('_token', Session::token()) !!}
{!! csrf_field() !!}
#csrf <!-- since Laravel 5.6 -->
Similarly, you can use PUT as:
#method('PUT')
