在laravel 5.4中调用null上的成员函数name（）

Question

When pressing my send button it's giving error like this-

Here is my routes web.php bellow-

Route::group(['prefix'=>'ajax', 'as'=>'ajax::'], function() {
   Route::resource('message/send', 'MessageController@ajaxSendMessage')->name('message.new');
   Route::delete('message/delete/{id}', 'MessageController@ajaxDeleteMessage')->name('message.delete');
});

Here is my controller MessageController.php bellow:

public function ajaxSendMessage(Request $request)
{
    if ($request->ajax()) {
        $rules = [
            'message-data'=>'required',
            '_id'=>'required'
        ];

        $this->validate($request, $rules);

        $body = $request->input('message-data');
        $userId = $request->input('_id');

        if ($message = Talk::sendMessageByUserId($userId, $body)) {
            $html = view('ajax.newMessageHtml', compact('message'))->render();
            return response()->json(['status'=>'success', 'html'=>$html], 200);
        }
    }
}

Resource routes should be named differently:

Route::prefix('ajax')->group(function () {
    Route::resource('messages', 'MessageController', ['names' => [
        'create' => 'message.new',
        'destroy' => 'message.destroy',
    ]]);
});

Resource routes also point to a controller, instead of a specific method. In MessageController, you should add create and destroy methods.
