Routing method delete or get - Beewez - 12-05-2022
Hello community,
I have a question regarding the routing when I want to delete a record from the database.
to delete the record I generate a link with the url (controller) and the id that I want to delete.
In this case I leave this example of how I do it.
Code:
$routes->get('deleteUs/(:any)', 'usx\usxController::deleteUs/$1', ['as' => 'deleteUsx');or should I use
Code:
$routes->delete
Should I use delete for security reasons?RE: Routing method delete or get - InsiteFX - 12-06-2022
Yes!
CodeIgniter 4 User Guide:
While the add() method seems to be convenient, it is recommended to always use the HTTP-verb-based routes,
described above, as it is more secure. If you use the CSRF protection, it does not protect GET requests. If the URI
specified in the add() method is accessible by the GET method, the CSRF protection will not work.
