Updated delete-script of Jeffrey Way to work with Laravel 5. And optimized the implementation for the CSRF token.

## laravel.js
/*
 <a href="posts/2" data-method="delete"> <---- We want to send an HTTP DELETE request

 - Or, request confirmation in the process -

 <a href="posts/2" data-method="delete" data-confirm="Are you sure?">

 Add this to your view:
  <script>
		window.csrfToken = '<?php echo csrf_token(); ?>';
  </script>
  <script src="/js/deleteHandler.js"></script>
 */

            $('body').on('click', 'a[data-method]', 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;
