The GET method is not supported for route api/addbooking. Supported methods: POST. nw.js + laravel 5.8

The error message you're encountering indicates that the GET request is not supported for the specified route "api/addbooking" in your Laravel 5.8 application using nw.js. However, the supported methods for this route are POST.

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that only POST requests are sent to the "api/addbooking" route. Here are some steps to help you with that:

1. Check your client-side code:

Make sure that you're sending a POST request to the "api/addbooking" route from your nw.js script. You can use the Fetch API or Axios library to send HTTP requests.

Here's an example using Fetch API:

fetch('api/addbooking', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        // Your data here
    })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
    // Handle success
})
.catch(error => {
    // Handle error
});

2. Check your server-side code:

Make sure that the "api/addbooking" route is defined as a POST route in your Laravel 5.8 application. You can check this by opening the routes/api.php file and looking for the following line:

Route::post('api/addbooking', 'YourController@methodName');

Replace YourController@methodName with the name of the method in your controller that handles the POST request to the "api/addbooking" route.

3. Check your CORS settings:

If you're making the request from a different domain or port than your Laravel application, you might need to configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) settings to allow the request from the nw.js script.

You can add the following lines to the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file in the boot() method to enable CORS:

if (!app()->environment('local')) {
    $this->app['cors']->addRoute('api', '*'); // Allow all origins for the API routes
}

Or, you can add the following lines to the routes/api.php file to enable CORS for specific routes:

Route::post('api/addbooking', function () {
    return response()->json([
        'message' => 'Hello World'
    ])->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'); // Allow all origins for this specific route
});

Replace * with the specific origin or origins that you want to allow.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and ensure that only POST requests are sent to the "api/addbooking" route in your Laravel 5.8 application using nw.js.
