Laravel 8 Resource Controller & Routing Tutorial
Today,I will explain you how to create resource route in laravel 8. we will show laravel 8 resource routing example.laravel resource routing assigns the typical “CRUD” routes to a controller with a single line of code.
for example, you may wish to create a controller that handles all http requests for “languages” stored by your application. using the make:controller artisan command, you can quickly create such a controller.
You have to create resource routes on laravel they provide insert, update, view, delete routes and second, you have to create a resource controller that will provide method for insert, update, view, and delete.
Here,I will generate a controller at app/Http/Controllers/LanguageController.php. The controller will contain a method for each of the available resource operations.So, in this example, we will see how to create resource route and how they work.
we have to understand why we choose the resource route instead of a different route. we always declare different routes for our “CRUD”application like as bellow:
use App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController;
Route::get('blogs', '[LanguageController::class, 'index']');
Route::get('blogs/create', '[LanguageController::class, 'create']');
Route::post('blogs', '[LanguageController::class, 'store']');
Route::get('blogs/{blog}/edit', '[LanguageController::class, 'edit']');
Route::put('blogs/{blog}', '[LanguageController::class, 'update']');
Route::get('blogs/{blog}', '[LanguageController::class, 'show']');
Route::delete('blogs/{blog}', '[LanguageController::class, 'destroy']');As you can see above route declare, we have to create six routes for our crud application module. But we can simply create those six routes by using bellow resource route:
Here, you may register a resourceful route to the controller:
Resource Route:
routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController;
Route::resource('languages', LanguageController::class);Now, you can run bellow command and check create route lists:
php artisan route:list --name=languagesNow we have output as like bellow created route:
+--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+
| Domain | Method | URI | Name | Action | Middleware |
+--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+
| | GET|HEAD | api/user | | Closure | api,auth:api |
| | GET|HEAD | languages | language.index | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@index | web |
| | POST | languages | language.store | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@store | web |
| | GET|HEAD | languages/create | language.create | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@create | web |
| | GET|HEAD | languages/{language} | language.show | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@show | web |
| | PUT|PATCH | languages/{language} | language.update | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@update | web |
| | DELETE | languages/{language} | language.destroy | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@destroy | web |
| | GET|HEAD | languages/{language}/edit | language.edit | App\Http\Controllers\LanguageController@edit | web |
+--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+--------------+I will make:controller Artisan command, we can quickly create such a controller:
Resource Controller Command:
php artisan make:controller LanguageController --resourceHere you can see your BlogController with following resource method, So let’s open and see.
