Laravel routing

Basic routing in a Laravel application is the process of defining how your application responds to HTTP requests. Laravel provides a powerful routing system that allows you to define routes

 Laravel routing  defined in the routes/web.php file for web routes and routes/api.php file for API routes. You can define routes using various HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

    Response

 

Example :

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

2. Route Parameters:
You can define route parameters that capture segments of the URI within curly braces {}. These parameters will be passed to your route callback or controller method.

 

Example :

Route::get('/user/{id}', function ($id) {
    return 'User ID: ' . $id;
});

3. Named Routes:
You can assign names to routes, which allows you to easily reference them in your application. This is especially useful for generating URLs or redirects.

 

Example :

Route::get('/profile', function () {
    // Route logic
})->name('profile');

4. Route Groups:

Route groups allow you to apply middleware, prefixes, namespaces, and other attributes to a group of routes, which can help organize your application's routes more effectively.

 

Example :

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
        // Route logic
    });
});

5. Controller Routes:

Instead of defining route logic inline, you can separate your application logic into controllers. Controllers are classes that group related route logic together.

 

Example :

Route::get('/users', 'UserController@index');

 

These are some of the basic concepts of routing in Laravel. Laravel's routing system is highly flexible and offers many advanced features such as route model binding, route caching, resource controllers, and more.
