Want to send a DELETE request when outside of a form? This will handle the form-creation bits for you dynamically, similar to the Rails implementation. (Requires jQuery, but doesn't have to.) To use, import script, and create a link with the `data-method="DELETE"` attribute.

Thank you @JeffreyWay just what i needed you rock!
Here's a simple update that uses vanilla JS and a default confirmation message: https://gist.github.com/guilhermemuller/114064dfe4e8ee49c37cce6f1a824081
add <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" />
into head
then
Change below code
'name': 'csrf_token',
'value': '<?php echo csrf_token(); ?>' // hmmmm...
into
'name': '_token',
'value': document.getElementsByName('_token')[0].value,
else it gives 419 | PAGE EXPIRED Error
