I try to delete post by click on delete button, but I have problem. If i click on delete button, it delete all posts by that user except that post I've clicked on. Whats the problem?
My routes.php:
Route::get('deletepost/{post_id}', 'PostController@getDeletePost')->name('delete');
My PostController:
public function getDeletePost($post_id){
$post = Post::where('id', $post_id)->first();
if(Auth::user() != $post->user){
return redirect()->back();
}
$post->delete();
return redirect()->route('dashboard')->with(['message' => 'Successfully deleted!']);
}
My Post model:
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
My User model:
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model implements Authenticatable
{
use \Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
public function posts(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Post');
}
}
And dashboard:
@if(Auth::user() == $post->user)
<a href="#">Edit</a>
<a href=" {{ route('delete', ['post_id' => $post->id]) }}">Delete</a>
@endif
I am using Laravel v5.2.39. Any help? Thank you.
It's because the Post::where('id', $post_id)->first();
is not finding the post with the ID. Change it to Post::where('id', $post_id)->firstOrFail();
and it will throw an exception, which you can catch (Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException).
