Dynamic routes doesn't work in Laravel 5.5

Question

I have some problem with dynamic routes.

I just tried add likes value in posts table to some post.

web.php

Route::get('post/{$id}/like', 'PostController@like')->name('post.like');
Route::resource('post', 'PostController');

And i define 1 custom method in resource controller PostControleler.

PostController@like

public function like($id)
{
    $post = Post::find($id);
    $post->likes++;
    $post->save();
    return redirect()->back();
}

and link in blade php view

<a href="{{route('post.like', $post)}}" class="btn btn-success btn-xs">Like</a>

When clicking on a link, nothing happen, just displayed 404

Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

Why that dynamic route doesn't work.

PS

That code works if i replace method to show instead like (it means that the custom method is hindered by something, the code itself is working)

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

you need to replace your href by this below and make shure if $post it's $post of id value or replace it with $post->id

<a href="{!! route('post.like', [$post]) !!}" class="btn btn-success btn-xs">Like</a>

and change get by post (here your are send data to the server that means you will post $id)

Route::post('/post/{$id}/like', 'PostController@like')->name('post.like');

Answer 2

Damn....i just forgot delete $ sign in custom route.

Should be:

Route::get('post/{post}/like', 'PostController@like')->name('post.like');
