Sending POST request with GET parameter in Laravel - php

Question

For example, I have this route in my web.php :-
Route::get('products/{product}/owners', 'ProductController#showOwners');
When I try to add new 'Owner' to the product, I have to do it in the parent URL, like this :-
Route::post('products/storeOwner', 'ProductController#storeOwner');
And then I pass the product ID in a hidden field in the form, because the post request doesn't accept URL parameters. So is there anyway to do it like below ?
Route::post('products/{product}/storeOwner', 'ProductController#storeOwner');
So the POST request will be sent inside the particular 'product' URL?
UPDATE
/* ProductController Class */
public function storeOwner (AddProductOwner $request)
{
$product= Product::find($request->product);
$user = Auth::user();
if ( $user->ownerOf($product)) {
// Check if the current user is already one of the owners).
// If the current user is the owner then return to the product
// This line is not executed because in (products/show.blade.php) we have set a condition.
return redirect('products/' . $request->product);
}
$join = new Join;
$join->role = $request->join_role;
$join->product()->associate($request->product);
$join->user()->associate(Auth::user());
$join->message = $request->message;
$join->save();
// TODO: we have to make this with ajax instead of normal form
return redirect('products/'. $request->product);
}
I hope my question is clear enough..

Answer 1

Yes you can do as you mentioned in your last route
Route::post('products/{product}/storeOwner', 'ProductController#storeOwner');
And then get the product Id in your functions argument
public function storeOwner (AddProductOwner $request, $productId)
{
dd($productId); // TRY THIS OUT. CHECK THE 2nd ARGUMENT I SET.
$product= Product::find($productId); // PASS THE VERIABLE HERE.
$user = Auth::user();
if ( $user->ownerOf($product)) {
// Check if the current user is already one of the owners).
// If the current user is the owner then return to the product
// This line is not executed because in (products/show.blade.php) we have set a condition.
return redirect('products/' . $request->product);
}
$join = new Join;
$join->role = $request->join_role;
$join->product()->associate($request->product);
$join->user()->associate(Auth::user());
$join->message = $request->message;
$join->save();
// TODO: we have to make this with ajax instead of normal form
return redirect('products/'. $request->product);
}

You can send URL parameters to a POST request. Just make sure in your form you are sending the wildcard.
<form action="/products/{{ $productid }}/storeOwner" method="POST">
In your routes
Route::post('products/{productid}/storeOwner', 'ProductController#storeOwner');
In your controller, use it
public function storeOwner($productid)
{
dd($productid);
}
