routing

Routing - Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans

Basic Routing:

Route::get('/', function () {
    echo "working";
   // return 'Hello World';
  // return view('welcome');
});

Route::view('/welcome', 'welcome', ['name' => 'Taylor']); //also send array data

Controller method access

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
Route::get('/user', [UserController::class, 'index']);
//OR
Route::get('/user', 'UserController@index');

Without use ..... user controller

Route::get('message',[App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class,'index']);

NAMED ROUTES:

Named routes allows you to refer to the routes when generating URLs or redirects to the specific routes.

Route::get('home',[App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class,'index'])->name('rizwan');

//Generating URLs  
$url= route('student_details');  
//Generating Redirects...  
return redirect() -> route('student_details');

Route Parameters

Route::get('/user/{id}', function ($id) { echo $id; });
Route::get('/posts/{post}/comments/{comment}', function ($postId, $commentId) { //code });

If your route has dependencies that you would like the Laravel service container to automatically inject into your route's callback, you should list your route parameters after your dependencies:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
Route::get('/user/{id}', function (Request $request, $id) {
    return 'User '.$id;
});

Optional parameters

Route::get('/user/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
    return $name;
});

Regular expressions

Route::get('/user/{name}', function ($name) {
    //
})->where('name', '[A-Za-z]+');
//
Route::get('/user/{id}/{name}', function ($id, $name) {
    //
})->whereNumber('id')->whereAlpha('name');
