405 (Method Not Allowed) Laravel

I am getting a 405 (Method Not Allowed) in Laravel while trying to delete an item using ajax. Someone please help.

Here is my route

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
Route::post('/destroy', 'PagesController@destroy');
Auth::routes();

Here is my ajax code

        function confirmDelete(id){
        //alert('Delete post id-'+id);
        $.ajax({
            type: 'post',
            url: 'blogs/destroy',
            data: {'id' : id},
            dataType: 'json',
            cache: false,
            success: function(res){
                console.log("worked");
                    alert(res);
            }
        })
    }

Here is my controller

public function destroy (Request $request){
    $id = $request->id;
    echo json_encode ($id);
//        $blog = Blog::findorFail ( $id );
//        $blog->delete ();
//        return response(['msg'=>'Post deleted', 
'status'=>'success']);
//        return redirect::to ( '/blogs' )->with ( 'success', 'Post 
successfully deleted!' );
}

Answer

The reason you’re getting this error is because your request URI /blog/destroy doesn’t match the route definition /destroy.

Therefore either change the route to

Route::post('/blog/destroy', 'PagesController@destroy');

or change your request

$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    url: '/destroy',
    // ...
})
