The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: POST?

Question

Laravel

I have this route:
Route::post('authors/{author}/delete-poster', '[email protected]');
I added it to delete the author's poster (picture).
Then I decided to go through a get request to see what would happen. And I generated a message from the header. So everything is right, there really is no such route. But that's not normal, right? Should I have used a different method or what?

Answer 1

Everything is logical. The framework works according to such rules, and not as you wanted. I want to make the behavior that you expect - we configure the routing further.

Answer 2

That's right, the GET method is only for getting data, and POST (PUT, DELETE, etc.) is for changing data. This is important from a security point of view, besides, POST must be backed by a CSRF token.
