and php artisan route:clear

i have also tried that :

  <form method="POST" action="{{ route('employees.update', $employee_detail->id) }}" aria-label="{{ __('Edit') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        @method('PUT')
        @csrf

and lets the route designed in web.php unchanged.

it still nothing working. continu to dispatch to destroy() instead of update().

Someone have an idee ?

Thanks all !

Answer 1

It's because the action you're trying to do and the one you are expecting.

Try this in your route file:

Route::put('/employee/{id}', 'EmployeeController@update')->name('employees.update');

I add a link in case you want to know the difference between "PUT" and "PATCH" HTTP verbs: https://williamdurand.fr/2014/02/14/please-do-not-patch-like-an-idiot/

HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP request method:

<form action="{{ route('employees.update', $employee_detail->id) }}" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
</form>

You may use the @method Blade directive to generate the _method input:

<form action="{{ route('employees.update', $employee_detail->id) }}" method="POST">
    @method('PUT')
</form>

Answer 2

 | PUT      | admin/employee/{id}/update          | employees.update               | App\Http\Controllers\Back\EmployeeController@update                    | web,auth 
 | GET|HEAD | admin/employee/{id}/delete          | employees.delete               | App\Http\Controllers\Back\EmployeeController@destroy                   | web,auth                                     |

i have added update and delete on my route and its worked now....

Route::put('/employee/{id}/update', 'EmployeeController@update')->name('employees.update');
Route::get('/employee/{id}/delete', 'EmployeeController@destroy')->name('employees.delete');

very strange for me...
