Adding form action in html in laravel

Question

I am unable to pass url in views html form action tag.

<form method="post" action="??what to write here??" accept-charset="UTF-8">

I want to set it's action to WelcomeController@log_in function in WelcomeController file in controllers.

Here are my routes:

Route::get('/','WelcomeController@home');
Route::post('/', array('as' => 'log_in', 'uses' => 'WelcomeController@log_in'));
Route::get('home', 'HomeController@index');

After submitting it keeps the same url

http://localhost:8000/

And the main error line

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

After that there is 1/1 TokenMismatchException in compiled.php line 2440:

Answer 1

You can use the action() helper to generate an URL to your route:

<form method="post" action="{{ action('WelcomeController@log_in') }}" accept-charset="UTF-8">

Note that the Laravel 5 default installation already comes with views and controllers for the whole authentication process. Just go to /home on a fresh install and you should get redirected to a login page.

Also make sure to read the Authentication section in the docs

---

The error you're getting now (TokenMismatchException) is because Laravel has CSRF protection out of the box

To make use of it (and make the error go away) add a hidden field to your form:

<input name="_token" type="hidden" value="{{ csrf_token() }}"/>

Alternatively you can also disable CSRF protection by removing 'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken' from the $middleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php

Laravel 5.8

Step 1: Go to the path routes/api.php add:

Route::post('welcome/login', 'WelcomeController@login')->name('welcome.login');

Step2: Go to the path file view

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('welcome.login') }}">
</form>

Result html

<form method="POST" action="http://localhost/api/welcome/login">
<form>

• Rajib: <form method="POST" action="localhost/api/welcome/login"> this one is bad practice ... because when you upload the project to the server you need to change the URL with reference to domain name

Answer 3

if you want to call controller from form action that time used following code:

<form action="{{ action('SchoolController@getSchool') }}" >

Here SchoolController is a controller name and getSchool is a method name, you must use get or post before method name which should be same as in form tag.

Answer 4

1) In Laravel 5 , form helper is removed .You need to first install laravel collective .

Refer link: https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.1/html

{!! Form::open(array('route' => 'log_in')) !!}

OR

{!! Form::open(array('route' => '/')) !!}

2) For laravel 4, form helper is already there

{{ Form::open(array('url' => '/')) }}

Answer 5

Use action="{{ action('WelcomeController@log_in') }}"

however TokenMismatchException means that you are missing a CSRF token in your form.

You can add this by using <input name="_token" type="hidden" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Answer 6

For Laravel 2020. Ok, an example:

<form class="modal-content animate" action="{{ url('login_kun') }}" method="post">
 @csrf // !!! attention - this string is a must 
....
 </form>

And then in web.php:

Route::post("/login_kun", "LoginController@login");

And one more in new created LoginController:

 public function login(Request $request){
 dd($request->all());
}

and you are done my friend.

Answer 7

In Laravel 8:

Step 1: In the blade file:

<form action="{{ route('authLogin') }}" method="post">
 @csrf
 ....
</form>

Step 2: And then in web.php:

use App\Http\Controllers\UsersController;
Route::post('login-user', [UsersController::class, 'login'])->name('authLogin');

Step 3: And in the UsersController:

public function login(Request $request){
 dd($request->all());
}

Happy to share. Thanks to ask this question.

Answer 8

{{ Form::open(array('action' => "WelcomeController@log_in")) }}
...
{{ Form::close() }}

Answer 9

You need to set a name to your Routes. Like this:

 Route::get('/','WelcomeController@home')->name('welcome.home');
 Route::post('/', array('as' => 'log_in', 'uses' => 'WelcomeController@log_in'))->name('welcome.log_in');
 Route::get('home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home.index');

I just put name on Routes that need this. In my case, to call from tag form at blade template. Like this:

<form action="{{ route('home.index') }}" >

Or, You can do this:

<form action="/" >

Answer 10

Form Post Action :

<form method="post" action="{{url('login')}}" accept-charset="UTF-8">

Change your Route : In Routes -> Web.php

Route::post('login','WelcomeController@log_in');

• kregus: In my Lumen installation the action() function mentioned by many here returned an error, but the url() function worked.

Answer 11

The following should work.

{{ Form::open( array('url' => action('WelcomeController@log_in'), 'files'=>true,'method'=>'post') ) }}
...
{{ Form::close() }}

Answer 12

I wanted to store a post in my application, so I created a controller of posts (PostsController) with the resources included:

php artisan make:controller PostsController --resource

The controller was created with all the methods needed to do a CRUD app, then I added the following code to the web.php in the routes folder :

Route::resource('posts', 'PostsController');

I solved the form action problem by doing this:

1. I checked my routing list by doing php artisan route:list
2. I searched for the route name of the store method in the result table in the terminal and I found it under the name of posts.store
3. I added this to the action attribute of my form: action="{{route('posts.store')}}" instead of action="??what to write here??"

Answer 13

Your form is also missing '{{csrf_field()}}'
