You use Laravel 5 and you want to send a DELETE request without creating a form? This will handle the form-creation bits for you dynamically, similar to the Rails implementation. To use, import script, and create a link with the `data-method="DELETE"` and `data-token="{{csrf_token()}}"` attributes.

laravel.js

/*
Exemples : 
<a href="posts/2" data-method="delete" data-token="{{csrf_token()}}"> 
- Or, request confirmation in the process -
<a href="posts/2" data-method="delete" data-token="{{csrf_token()}}" data-confirm="Are you sure?">
*/


(function() {
 
  var laravel = {
    initialize: function() {
      this.methodLinks = $('a[data-method]');
      this.token = $('a[data-token]');
      this.registerEvents();
    },
 
    registerEvents: function() {
      this.methodLinks.on('click', this.handleMethod);
    },
 
    handleMethod: function(e) {
      var link = $(this);
      var httpMethod = link.data('method').toUpperCase();
      var form;
 
      // If the data-method attribute is not PUT or DELETE,
      // then we don't know what to do. Just ignore.
      if ( $.inArray(httpMethod, ['PUT', 'DELETE']) === - 1 ) {
        return;
      }
 
      // Allow user to optionally provide data-confirm="Are you sure?"
      if ( link.data('confirm') ) {
        if ( ! laravel.verifyConfirm(link) ) {
          return false;
        }
      }
