Laravel 5 Ajax Delete not working

Question

I have a strange issue going on. I can't seem to get a record to delete via ajax submission. I'm not seeing anything wrong as this worked previously on Laravel 4. Do I need to provide the CSRF token to the method? If I change my route to any instead of post or delete and hit it directly it will delete as expected.

 {!! HTML::link(url(), 'Delete', array('class' => 'btn btn-delete', 'data-name' => $tile->tile_name, 'id' => $tile->id)) !!}

Ajax

 var id = $this.attr('id');

 // Submit delete request to route with id
 $.post('edit/delete/' + id);

 // Redirect to gallery
 window.location.href = 'http://ims-tiles.dev/';

Route

$router->post('edit/delete/{id}', [

    'as'    => 'tile.destroy',
    'uses'  => 'TileController@destroy'

]);

Destroy Method

public function destroy($id) {

    $tile = Tile::find($id);
    $tags = explode(' ', $tile->getTags());
    $tagIds = [];

    foreach($tags as $tag){

        array_push($tagIds, $tile->getTagId($tag));
    }

    $tile->tags()->detach($tagIds);
    $tile->delete();        

}

Hi! I even changed the route to list to a POST request and it still will not remove the record. — Miura-shi

Yes, you do. Laravel's default CSRF protection applies to AJAX POST/PUT/DELETE/etc. requests just like they do non-AJAX ones.
