What is controller in laravel
Controller is a php class of many methods. In this we can do many operations like showing data, inserting data, updating data, deleting data etc. We store the controller in the folder of app / http /controllers.
How to create controller via cmd terminal
Laravel has provided us a command to create the controller file, with the help of which we can create a fresh controller file.
php artisan make:controller <Controller Name>
php artisan make:controller HomeController
php artisan make:controller ProductController
php artisan make:controller CartController
php artisan make:controller OrderController
php artisan make:controller SettingControllerDefault controller file syntax:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
}How to call controller in routes file
To display the data of the controller on the browser, the controller is called from the routes file.
Route::get('index',[HomeController::class,'index']);
Route::get('about-us',[HomeController::class,'about_us']);
Route::get('service',[HomeController::class,'service']);
Route::get('contact-us',[HomeController::class,'contact_us']);How to call blade / view file in controller
class HomeController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('index');
}
public function about_us()
{
return view('about_us');
}
public function service()
{
return view('service');
}
public function contact_us()
{
return view('contact_us');
}
}There are many ways to pass data from controller to view/blade file. Like compact method, with method etc.
public function index()
{
$title = 'Home Page';
return view('index',compact('title'));
}
public function index()
{
$title = 'Home Page';
return view('index')->with(['title'=>$title]);
}
public function index()
{
$data['title'] = 'Home Page';
return view('index')->with($data);
