Passing a user id in a url in laravel

I'm making a Laravel web application, in this application, I have an Account Settings page. On this page, I want to display all the orders the user has made. In order to do this, I have to get the User id from the URL.

I tried passing the User id thru the URL by putting the Auth::user()->id in the route that leads to the page. however, this is giving me a 404 not found error.

This is the link that should pass the ID in the URL. 

 <a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('account/{{ Auth::user()->id }}') }}">
 {{ __('Account Settings') }}
 </a>

I also tried to change my web.php file but that's also not giving any result.

I really would appreciate some help with my problem since I've been stuck on this all day.

You're using Laravel route helper. the route would work only for NAMED ROUTE, for example:

Route::get('account/{userId}', 'AccountController@show')->name('account');

Then, your could should be:

<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('account', ['userId' => Auth::id()]) }}">
 {{ __('Account Settings') }}
</a>
