How to use laravel route in ajax url

Question

This route marks notifications as read, using ajax

Route::get('markAsRead', function() {
    Auth::user()->unreadNotifications->markAsRead();
    return Redirect()->back();
});

function markNotificationAsRead()
{
    $.get('markAsRead');
}

This works from the root directory:

http://localhost/markAsRead

but when i want to access this route from

http://localhost/user/markAsRead 

it does not work, so how Can I use the laravel route and make it work?

Answer 1

Without beginning slashes, the URL is relative to the current page. To make it absolute, you want to add a slash before it:

function markNotificationAsRead()
{
    $.get('/markAsRead');
}
