Error status 500 Ajax on Laravel - php

Question

Good I am trying to delete through ajax but I get the following error:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
I searched the error and apparently appears by the token so I have done what they recommended, I added in the view this:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
ajax:
$('#delete').on('click', function(){
var x = $(this);
var delete_url = x.attr('data-href')+'/'+x.attr('data-id');
$.ajax({
url: delete_url,
type:'DELETE',
headers:{
"X-CSRF-TOKEN": $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
success:function(result){
alert('success');
},
error:function(result){
alert('error');
}
});
});
controller:
public function destroy($id)
{
$appointment = Appointment::find($id);
if(appointment == null) {
return Response()->json([
'message'=>'error delete.'
]);
}
$appointment->delete();
return Response()->json([
'message'=>'sucess delete.'
]);
}
route:
Route::name('appointments.destroy')->delete('/citas/{id}', 'AppointmentController#destroy');
it is certainly a token error because if I do not need it on the route it does it perfectly ...
class VerifyCsrfToken extends BaseVerifier
{
/**
* The URIs that should be excluded from CSRF verification.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $except = [
'citas/*'
];
}

You can check the exact error on developers console, network tab. Look there for your request and check the preview or open it in a new chrome's tab.
Posted code has a typo, maybe it is in your file too? You missed to add $ to your appointment variable.
public function destroy($id)
{
$appointment = Appointment::find($id);
if($appointment == null) {
return Response()->json([
'message'=>'error delete.'
]);
}
$appointment->delete();
return Response()->json([
'message'=>'sucess delete.'
]);
}
