如何在laravel 5.1中使用eloquent删除记录

Question

我已经完成了创建，编辑和更新现在我正在尝试使用id删除记录，但它正在抛出异常MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 219:，我做错了。

路线：

Route::delete('authors/{id}/delete', array('as' => 'delete_route', 'uses' => 'authors_controller@delete'));

控制器：

public function delete($id){
$author = author::find($id);
$author->delete();
return redirect('authors');
}

形式：

    {!! Form::open($author, ['method'=> 'delete', 'url' => 'authors/' . $author->id . '/delete']) !!}

    {!! Form::close() !!}
