Laravel Resource destroy via ajax

Question

Can I use resource via ajax? I have this resource

Route::resource('dashboard', 'DashBoardController');

js file

$.ajax({
    type: 'delete',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {id:id},
    url: " {!! route('dashboard.destroy') !!} ",
    success: function (data) {
             //
             } 
});

but I receive,

NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:

A destroy method is using a DELETE request, but it actually uses POST request within an _method as parameter, so your javascript section should looks like this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {
        id: id,
        _method: 'DELETE'
    },
    url: "{!! route('dashboard.destroy') !!}",
    success: function (data) {
        //
    } 
});
