Laravel ajax 404 not found error

Question

am getting an ajax 404 error while using laravel 5.0 and ajax and I cannot figure out why.

My routes

Route::post('user/saved/ [
'as' => 'delete-topics',
'uses' => 'TopicController@deleteTopic',    
]);

My form

    <form action="{{action('TopicController@deleteTopic')}}" method="post" class="deleteform">
        <input type="hidden" name="topic_id" value="{{$topic->topic_id}}">

        <input type="submit" value="delete">
        </form>

My ajax call

  // process the form
 $('.deleteform').submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
  var $form = $(this);


  var formData = {
    topic_id    : $form.find('input[name=topic_id]').val()
};  


// process the form
$.ajax({
  type    : 'POST', 
  url     : 'saved',
  data    : formData, 
  dataType  : 'json', 
  encode    : true
})

My Controller

public function deleteTopic()
{

    $topic_id = Request::get('topic_id');

    if(Auth::check())
    {
        $user_id = Auth::user()->id;
    $delete_topic = DB::table('topic_save')->where('user_id', $user_id)->where('topic_id', $topic_id)->delete();
    }


    $data['success']  =  true; 
    $data['message']  =  'success';
    echo json_encode($data);
}

I have tried changing the url in the ajax call to 'user/saved' to match the routes but am still getting the same 404 error

Thanks guys.

What's the URL of the page you're submitting the form on?

Change the url to the action you have set for the form. That would be:

url = $form.attr('action');
$.ajax({
  type    : 'POST', 
  url     : url,
  data    : formData, 
  dataType: 'json', 
  encode  : true
})

you can just remove action property from your Form, because you don't use form submit, then change ajax like this:

$.ajax({
  type    : 'POST', 
  url     : "{{ route('delete-topics') }}",
  data    : formData, 
  dataType: 'json', 
  encode  : true
})

Your form action itself is incorrect:

<form action="{{action('TopicController@deleteTopic')}}" method="post" class="deleteform">

instead of this use:

action="route_path"
