The GET method is not supported for route logout. Supported methods: POST in laravel when manually type logout in url

by

My laravel version is 9.19. When I click on logout menu its working fine.
But when I manually type ‘logout’ in url it gives the error – The GET method is not supported for route logout. Supported methods: POST.

enter image description here

It shows as a POST route in route:list:

POST logout .............. logout › Auth\LoginController@logout

in web.php:

Auth::routes( [ 'register' => false ] );

How can i solve this in case of manually type ‘logout’ in url?

  • it isn’t a GET route, it is a POST route … there is no reason to type in a URL to logout and it shouldn’t be a simple link, causing a GET request … there is good reason for this being a POST route

    – 

  • Either use logout as POST request OR do Route::get(...logout class here@method) in your auth.php or wherever your logout route is located.

  • Though it is better to use POST request for logout as per what @lagbox said!

    – 

  • having said all of that, if you really wanted to you could create a GET route that points to that same action on that controller as stated by Mr.Kenneth, just don’t put it into production with that route existing

    Why would you, or anyone, manually type the URL?
