How to delete record using ajax in laravel 8 and using Sweet Alerts. In Just 3 Steps.

In this article we will be using laravel 8 framework. we will see how to delete a particular record from the database in ajax and we will show a confirmation message before deleting the record.After deleting we will see how to remove the row without page refresh. Let's get started .

1) First you need to install fresh laravel project. You can refer my previous blogs to see the command used to install latest laravel project. Link mentioned below mrunali.in/logout-from-every-devices-except..

2) Set the route to display all the records I am retrieving all the users from my database.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
Route::get('/', function () {
    // Fetch all the records from the table
    $students = DB::table('users')->where('role',0)->get();
    return view('user',compact('students'));
});

Define route to access the method delete_user in HomeController

//delete route for controller containing delete code
route::post('/delete-user',[App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class,'delete_user']);

3) Go to HomeController app/Http/Controller/HomeController.php Write code to perform delete operation.

  public function delete_user(Request $request){
        $user = DB::table('users')->where('id',$request->id)->delete();
        return response()->json(
            [
                'success' => true,
                'message' => 'Data Deleted'
            ]
        );
    }

4) Create a blade file 'user' that will list all users in the table in resources/views/user.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <div id="students" class="layout-px-spacing">
        <div class="row layout-top-spacing">
            <div class="col-xl-12 col-lg-12 col-sm-12  layout-spacing">

                <div class="widget-content widget-content-area br-6">
                    <h4>Student Details</h4>
                    <div class="table-responsive mb-4 mt-4">
                        <table id="html5-extension" class="table table-hover non-hover" style="width:100%">
                            <thead>
                            <tr>
                                <th>Name</th>
                                <th>Email Id</th>
                                <th>Action</th>
                            </tr>
                            </thead>
                            <tbody id="students">
                            @foreach($students as $student)
                                <tr id="{{$student->id}}">
                                    <td>{{$student->id}}</td>
                                    <td>{{$student->email}}</td>

                                </tr>
                            @endforeach
                            </tbody>
