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.
/*
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?">
*/

initialize: function() {

// If the data-method attribute is not PUT or DELETE,
// then we don't know what to do. Just ignore.

// Allow user to optionally provide data-confirm="Are you sure?"
