MethodNotAllowedHttpException - php

Question

I'm trying to update the fields in the database, but I couldn't
here is my routes :
Route::get('orders', [
'uses' => 'OrderController#postOrder',
'as' => 'order.show'
]);
here the controller:
public function postOrder()
{
$this->orderForm->validate(Input::all());
$order = $this->orders->getNew([
'link' => Input::post('link'),
'size' => Input::post('size'),
'color' => Input::post('color')
]);
$this->orders->save($order);
return Redirect::back()->withMessage('Order has been updated');
}
here is the blade:
{{ Form::open() }}
<div class="box-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('title', 'Product:') }}
{{ Form::text('title', $order->title, ['class' => 'form-control', ]) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('link', 'Link:') }}
{{ Form::text('link', $order->link, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('size', 'Size:') }}
{{ Form::text('size', $order->size, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
</div>
</div>
<div class="box-footer">
{{ Form::submit('Save', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) }}
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
so each time I try to update the order I got error "MethodNotAllowedHttpException ", I tried a lot of methods but I'm lost. I'm still beginner in php and this problem drive me crazy, so I'll be glad if you can help guys.
thanks
*** I've updated the code

Answer 1

So you're posting to the route, /orders. Therefor you need a HTTP POST request. You're now assigning a GET request to the /orders route.
You need to change your code to:
Route::post('orders', [
'uses' => 'OrderController#postOrder',
'as' => 'order.show'
]);
Also you need to add a CSRF Token, this can be done through adding {!! csrf_field() !!} in your blade (inside your Form open and close).
{{ Form::open() }}
{!! csrf_field() !!}
<div class="box-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('title', 'Product:') }}
{{ Form::text('title', $order->title, ['class' => 'form-control', ]) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('link', 'Link:') }}
{{ Form::text('link', $order->link, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('size', 'Size:') }}
{{ Form::text('size', $order->size, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
</div>
</div>
<div class="box-footer">
{{ Form::submit('Save', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) }}
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
Hope this works!

You must specify the method in the Form::open method.
{{ Form::open(array('method' => 'post')) }}

Answer 3

Just added this in the repository:
public function updateOrder($id, array $data)
{
$orders = $this->getById($id);
if (!empty($data['title'])) {
$orders->title = $data['title'];
}
if (!empty($data['link'])) {
$orders->link = $data['link'];
}
(AND SO ON)
$orders->save();
and in the controller:
public function postOrder($id)
{
$this->orders->updateOrder($id, Input::all());
return Redirect::back()->withMessage('Updated');
}
and that's it
