can't get redirect() working after a delete request

[mehdirayan]

I have in my front-end a list of contacts. I need to delete a contact and refresh the page.
i'm using inertia
so in my contact.vue I write this:

const supprimerContact = (data:Contact)=>{

router.delete("contacts/", {data:{contactData:data,clientData:props.clientData},

})

in my controller i write this

public async destruct({ request, inertia , response }: HttpContext) {

const contact: Contact = request.all().contactData
const client:Client = request.all().clientData


await ContactsService.deleteContact(contact.id)

let newContact = await ContactsService.getContacts(client.id)



//return inertia.render('clients/contacts', { clientData:client,contactData: newContact })

response.redirect().toRoute('clients/clients', { clientData:client,contactData: newContact })

}
}

and this is my routes

router.group(()=>{

router.get('contacts', [ContactsController,'show'])

router.delete('contacts',[ContactsController,'destruct'])

}).prefix('/contacts')

I got this error "Cannot lookup route "clients/clients"" and i dont understand why adonis can't find the route

Hey @mehdirayan! 👋🏻

The router is looking for a route with the name clients/clients. If you want to redirect to the URL clients/clients then you have to use toPath.

hi
sorry i wasn't using well the redirect function. so I rewrite it like this:
public async destruct({ request, response }: HttpContext) {

const contact: Contact = request.all().contactData
const client: Client = request.all().clientData


await ContactsService.deleteContact(contact.id)


response.redirect().toRoute('contacts.contacts.show', { clientData: client })

}
}

now it redirect to contacts/contacts with a get request(status;303) but without query parameters

what i'm doing wrong ?

hi every body
this is working for me
public async destruct({ request, response }: HttpContext) {

const contact: Contact = request.all().contactData
const client: Client = request.all().clientData


await ContactsService.deleteContact(contact.id)


return response.redirect().withQs({ clientData: client}).toRoute('contacts.contacts.show')

}

The redirect alone doesn't send query parameters. i had to add withQs() function.
thanks for help!
