VIEW Code:

      {!! Form::open(array('url' => 'http://localhost/ecom/admin/categories/create' , 'method' => 'post')) !!}
      <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

                          <div class="form-group">
                            <label for="username">Category Name:</label>
                            <input type="username" class="form-control" name="name" id="name">
                          </div>    
                          <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

<?php

    namespace App;

    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

Answer 1

You should use {!! Form::open(array('url' => 'http://localhost/ecom/admin/categories')) !!} {!! Form::open(array('url' => 'http://localhost/ecom/admin/categories')) !!} when you submit the form.

According to RESTful resource controller the URL for form action will be the main route not /store or /create.

Answer 2

May be it help you :

Example :

 <form id="categoryForm" method="post" action="{{ route('categories.store') }}"/>

Route for store :

Route::resource('categories', 'CategoryController');

Controller :

 public function store(Request $request)
{

    $id = (int)$request->get("id", 0);

    $validator = Categories::validator($request->all(), $id);
    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return redirect()->back()
            ->withErrors($validator->getMessageBag())
            ->withInput($request->all());
    }

    try {
        Categories::updateOrCreate([
            'id' => $id,
        ], [
            'name'   => $request->get('name'),
            'status' => $request->get('status')
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('categories.index')->with('flash_success', 'Category data saved!');
    } catch (\Exception $e) {

        return redirect()->route('categories.create')->with('flash_danger', 'Category data not saved!');
    }
}
