<a href="#" class="btn-get-random-post">Get Random Story</a>
on the main page of my site, on click I need to get random post from DB and show it on the same window. I use Laravel 5.4.class PostsController extends Controller
{
public function index() {
return redirect('/');
}
public function show($id) {
$post = Post::findOrFail($id);
return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
public function getRandomPost() {
$post = Post::inRandomOrder()->first();
return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
}
routesRoute::get('posts', 'PostsController@index');
Route::get('posts/create', 'PostsController@create');
Route::get('posts/{id}', 'PostsController@show');
Route::post('posts', 'PostsController@store');
Route::post('publish', 'PostsController@publish');
Route::post('delete', 'PostsController@delete');
Route::post('get-random-post', 'PostsController@getRandomPost');
js$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
$('.btn-get-random-post').on('click', function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: './get-random-post',
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(jqXHR));
console.log("AJAX error: " + textStatus + ' : ' + errorThrown);
}
});
return false;
});
});
And I have 2 problems here1. Method
getRandomPost()
returns post, but how to display it? I want to get as result page with url mysite/post/{id}
like url from method show
.2. Is there any way to get and display random post (with url
mysite/post/{id}
) without AJAX?UPD
Controller
class PostsController extends Controller
{
public function index() {
return redirect('/');
}

public function getRandomPost() {
$post = Post::inRandomOrder()->first();
return redirect()->route('posts.show', ["id" => $post->id]);
}
}
