I have a jquery script(downloaded from github) that deletes the entities. Following is the script.

$(document).ready(function() {


var restful = {

    init: f         


        

Answer 1

You have used method:DELETE instead use following in your ajax call

$.ajax({
    headers: {...},
    url: self.attr('href'),
    type:"post",
    data: { _method:"DELETE" },
    success: function(data) {...},
    error: function(data) {...}
});

Laravel will look for the _method in POST and then the DELETE request will be used if found the method.

Update: (Because of this answer, pointed by nietonfir)

You may try DELETE method directly like this (if it doesn't work then try the other one), :

$.ajax({
    headers: {...},
    url: self.attr('href'),
    type:"DELETE",
    success: function(data) {...},
    error: function(data) {...}
});
