Laravel Route to Controller Methods

To call a controller method from a route in a Laravel application, you need to define the route in the routes/web.php file and specify the controller method that should be invoked when the route is accessed. Here's how you can do it:

1. Create a Controller: First, make sure you have a controller created. You can create one using the following Artisan command:

php artisan make:controller YourControllerName

2. Specify the Controller Method:   Use the -> operator to specify the controller and the method that should handle the route. The controller method should be in the format [ControllerClassName::class ,'methodName'].

 

Example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ExampleController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return 'Hello from ExampleController index function';
    }
}

3.  Define a Route:    Open the routes/web.php file and define your route using the Route facade. You can specify the HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and the URL path for your route.

 

Example:

// routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\ExampleController;  // ExampleController replace with your controller name

Route::get('/your-route', [ExampleController::class, 'index']);  // index replace with your function name

4. Access the Route: Now serve your application , after that you navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/your-route in your browser, 

php artisan serve
