can I use route() to make a DELETE request in laravel

Question

I'm using laravel and trying to delete something. Is it possible to specify the DELETE method on laravel's route()??

e.g

route('dashboard-delete-user', ['id' => $use->id, 'method'=> 'delete'])

or something like that??

EDIT: What I meant was could I specify that in a link or a button in my blade template. Similar to this:

href="{{ route('dashboard-delete-user') }}

Yes, you can do this:

Route::delete($uri, $callback);

Update

If for some reason you want to use route only (without a controller), you can use closure, something like:

Route::get('delete-user/{id}', function ($id) {
    App\User::destroy($id);
    return 'User '.$id.' deleted';
});
