Laravel returns MethodNotAllowedHttpException on routing does not exist

Question

I created a route for buy an item in laravel 5.7

Route::post('/buy/item', "userController@buy_item")->name('buy_item_form');

Everything works fine but when I refresh the page(replace to GET Request) I got an MethodNotAllowedHttpException. The GET route not exist, Its must return an 404 error. I dont understant why its return me this exception.

You are using a post, with post you have a @csrf token. when you click on refresh, you are doing a GET method instead of a post and for hence you get the method not allow exception. If you are not sending data you can change it to a get [Route::get] method.

If you want to accept the 2 methods [post,get] to have a better experience and manage the possible errors. You can accept the 2 methods on the route like:

Route::match(array('GET','POST'),'/buy/item', 'userController@buy_item')->name('buy_item_form');

And on the controller, define what to do base on the method.

if (Request::isMethod('get')){
    // redirect user
}

if (Request::isMethod('post')){
    // do logic for post method
}

I didn't create a GET route. so why I got an exception on GET request if the route not exist. This should return me an 404 error.

when you refresh or go to a page is a get method, if you submit data and set the method on the form to post, it will post the info instead of get. w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp

I mean that I created a Post Route And When I write the url of the post route on the url adress bar in my browser(Make a get Request) its return an exception and not 404 error. I can make a get route thet do abort(404) but is not must be happen anyway?

add this to your code, and you will see that you are doing a get on refresh Route::get('/buy/item', function(){ return "Get Request"; });

I can make this: Route::get('/buy/item', function(){return abort(404)}); But my question is why is not happend automaticly.
