Does the Form Builder know that you are using a non-conventional namespace for the route? Possibly you need:
{{ Form::open(['action' => 'Vanguard\Http\Controllers\WebCompaniesController@store']) }}

Action CompaniesController@store not defined
I am trying to build a form using laravel. I continue to get this error... Action CompaniesController@store not defined ...
When I take out the action route on the form open I can view the page without error. Below is my code.
Routes:
Route::get('companies', 'CompaniesController@index');
Route::get('companies/create', 'CompaniesController@create');
CompaniesController
<?php
namespace Vanguard\Http\Controllers\Web;
use Vanguard\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Vanguard\Companies;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use DB;
/**
* Class CompaniesController
* @package Vanguard\Http\Controllers
*/
class CompaniesController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
// Fetch users from database
$companies = Companies::select('companies.*')->get();
// Uncomment the following line if you want to see the info you get from the database
// dd($users);
// Load appropriate view for displaying the users
// Note: compact('users') is the same as ['users' => $users]
return view('companies.index', compact('companies'));
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this-> validate($request, [
'company_name'=> 'required',
'phone'=> 'required',
'email'=> 'required'
]);
return 123;
}
public function show(){
//
}
public function create()
{
return view('companies.create');
}
}
create.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('page-title', trans('app.dashboard'))
@section('page-heading', trans('app.dashboard'))
@section('breadcrumbs')
<li class="breadcrumb-item active">
@lang('Companies')
</li>
@stop
@section('content')
{{ Form::open(['action' => 'CompaniesController@store']) }}
//
{{ Form::close() }}
@stop

You need to declare a route so that the action method can find the route you are talking about
eg
Route::get('companies', 'CompaniesController@index');
Route::get('companies/create', 'CompaniesController@create');
Route::post('companies','CompaniesController@store');

I changed my routes to look like suggested.
''' Route::get('companies', 'CompaniesController@index'); Route::get('companies/create', 'CompaniesController@create'); Route::post('companies','CompaniesController@store'); ''' Unfortunatly same error persists.

php artisan route:clear
composer dump-autolaod
and try this
<form method="POST" action="/companies">
@csrf
</form>

I wonder if 'action' is looking in the app namespace? (as @tykus was thinking)
Try
Route::post('companies','CompaniesController@store')->name('companies.store');
and then
{{ Form::open(['route' => 'companies.store']) }}
And also check with php artisan route:list to check the store method is listed

The first answer given worked..... I tried all of these solutions....
@Snapey is there a way to make your solution work I like the feel and look of coding in that syntax.
Also the companies.store was stored in the method list when i ran the artisan command. Which previously was not showing up. However the page still did not load.

Well looking back, I notice that you have Controllers/Web, so my route should have been
Route::post('companies','Web\CompaniesController@store')->name('companies.store');
I'm confused though since by this then neither of these should work
Route::get('companies', 'CompaniesController@index');
Route::get('companies/create', 'CompaniesController@create');
```

Agree by logic no other route would work with out the Web\
That is where I got lost with the other two working without an issue.
I’m at a loss, I’m going to keep looking into the issue, because I should not need to put the Web\ in front of the controller name as the static route to the controllers folder is already defined in the namespace.
