How to Delete data with Eloquent Syntax

First, we need to create new function to delete data in our database, in our controller (BlogController.php) add "destory" function like this :

BlogController.php

public function destroy($id)
    {
        $blog = Blog::find($id);
        $blog->delete();
        return redirect('blog')->with('message','data hasbeen deleted!');
    }

Next, we will create a link or a button delete in our index page, just edit your index page (index.blade.php)

index.blade.php

{{ Session::get('message') }}

<h1>My First Blog</h1>
@foreach ($blogs as $blog)
  <h2><a href="/blog/{{ $blog->id }}">{{ $blog->title }}</a></h2>
  {{ date('F d, Y', strtotime($blog->created_at)) }}

  <p>{{ $blog->description }}</p>
  <a href="/blog/{{ $blog->id }}/edit">Edit this Post</a><br>
  <form class="" action="/blog/{{ $blog->id }}" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete">
    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    <input type="submit" name="name" value="delete">
  </form>
  <hr>
@endforeach
