We'll look at how to set up AJAX-based data deletion in Laravel 10, as well as how to use it in practise with real-world scenarios, throughout this article. By using ajax based concept you can also get data from database in a very easier way.

Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

$ php artisan make:controller UserController

It will create a file UserController.php inside /app/Http/Controllers folder.

Open file and write this complete code into it,

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\View\View;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index(): View
    {
        $users = User::paginate(10);

        return view('users', compact('users'));
    }

    public function delete($id)
    {
        User::find($id)->delete();

        return response()->json(['success' => 'User Deleted Successfully!']);
    }
}
