Action url for a form

Question

My routes:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'product'], function () {
 Route::get('{id}', 'ProductController@product')->where('id', '[0-9]+');
 Route::post('{id}/add', 'ProductController@addToCart')->where('id', '[0-9]+');
});

From the product/{id} page i wan't to do a POST to product/{id]/add

But what is the best way to get the form action url?

Now i have:

<form method="POST" action="{{ Request::url() }}/add">

It works, but I don't like it... And there must be a beter way...

<form method="POST" action="{{ action('ProductController@addToCart') }}/add">

Given me an exception...

Missing required parameters for [Route: ] [URI: product/{id}/add]. (View: .../resources/views/product/product.blade.php)

Answer 1

If you dislike that, you can use route naming:

Route::post('{id}/add', 'ProductController@addToCart')
 ->name('product.add')
 ->where('id', '[0-9]+');

and then:

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('product.add', $id) }}">

where $id is a id of a element to pass.

• yooouuri: Does $id refer to the parameter?
• yooouuri: I'm getting a Undefined variable: id
• Filip Koblański: Yes it refers the parameter you define in route as {id}
• Filip Koblański: Undefined variable: id <- I'm give you only the example. You have to get $id by yourself in the view partial :)
