Put request in ajax

Question

I have a route like this --

Route::put('avote', 'voteController@avote')->middleware('auth');

I want to access this route from a ajax send request.
When i use this code --

$data = {/* some data here */}; $.post("/avote", $data, function(result) { $('#avote h2').html(result); $('#avote a span').css('color', 'orange'); $('#avote a span').unwrap(); });

I get an error method not allowed. I know that it is the problem of method I used (used post not put)

I question is, is there any way i can get the information from /avote using ajax or any other scripts?

Please dont suggest me to change the route request from put to post or Any other way to protect the /avote route

I used Route::put() beacuse i have a database update function in the route controller

Move to $.ajax() function instead of $.post and provide method (type) property:

$.ajax({ url: "/avote", data: $data, method: "PUT", // or type: "PUT", if your jquery version is prior to 1.9 success: function(result) { $('#avote h2').html(result); $('#avote a span').css('color', 'orange'); $('#avote a span').unwrap(); } });
