When I click on a post link, I want to load my post via AJAX. How can I send the post ID through AJAX?
In my Blade file, there is a link:
{{ link_to_route($post->type, $post->comments->count() . ' ' . t('comments'), array('id' => $post->id, 'slug' => $post->slug), array('class' => 'link--to--post')) }}
I have defined the route as follows:
Route::get('news/{id}-{slug?}', ['as' => 'news', 'uses' => 'NewsController@show']);
The controller action looks like this:
public function show($id, $slug = null)
{
$post = $this->news->getById($id, 'news');
if ($slug != $post->slug){
return Redirect::route('news', ['id' => $post->id, 'slug' => $post->slug]);
}
Event::fire('posts.views', $post);
return View::make('post/post', compact('post'));
}
Now, I'm attempting the following:
var postTitle = $(".link--to--post");
postTitle.click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/news/{id}-{slug}',
type: 'GET',
data: $(this),
success: function (data) {
console.log(data)
}
});
return false;
});
However, it's not working for me. What am I doing wrong?
