Delete Product Testing

The final part of testing the CRUD of products is, of course, the delete action.

Laravel Code

Again, first, the code for the Controller, Route, and delete button.

app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php:

use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
 
class ProductController extends Controller
{
    // ...
 
    public function destroy(Product $product): RedirectResponse
    {
        $product->delete();
 
        return redirect()->route('products.index');
    }
}

routes/web.php:

use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;
 
Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('products', [ProductController::class, 'index'])->name('products.index');
 
    Route::middleware('is_admin')->group(function () {
        Route::get('products/create', [ProductController::class, 'create'])->name('products.create');
        Route::post('products', [ProductController::class, 'store'])->name('products.store');
        Route::get('products/{product}/edit', [ProductController::class, 'edit'])->name('products.edit');
        Route::put('products/{product}', [ProductController::class, 'update'])->name('products.update');
        Route::delete('products/{product}', [ProductController::class, 'destroy'])->name('products.destroy'); 
    });
});

resources/views/products/index.blade.php:

// ...
    @if (auth()->user()->is_admin)
        <td class="px-6 py-4 whitespace-no-wrap text-sm leading-5 text-gray-900">
            <a href="{{ route('products.edit', $product) }}" class="...">
                Edit
            </a>
            <form action="{{ route('products.destroy', $product) }}" method="POST" class="inline-block"> 
                @csrf
                @method('DELETE')
                <x-primary-button onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')" class="bg-red-600 text-white">Delete</x-primary-button>
            </form> 
        </td>
    @endif
// ...

After visiting the /products URL, we now see a Delete button, which is working.

The Test

In the test, we will simulate the DELETE request and assert the database records.
