Adding a function to a route

hi,

I would like to add a function to a route:

this is what I currently have:

Route::get('qr-code-g', function () {
    \QrCode::size(500)
        ->format('png')
        ->generate('ItSolutionStuff.com', public_path('images/qrcode.png'));

    return view('qrCode');

});

I would just like to use the function part:

function () {
    \QrCode::size(500)
        ->format('png')
        ->generate('ItSolutionStuff.com', public_path('images/qrcode.png'));

in this route:

Route::get('/venues/{town}/pdfs', 'VenueController@pdf')->name('venues.pdf');

Please help?

@boyjarv just create a GET method in your VenueController

public function pdf() {

   $qrCode = QrCode::size(500)
        ->format('png')
        ->generate('ItSolutionStuff.com', public_path('images/qrcode.png'));

   return view('qrCode');
}

Question why your method is called pdf, when you are working with png.

hmm I see I could just use the function inside my controller... but its not really what I was wanting?!

create a get method?!

PDF is a different part of my application than the PNG

Route::get('/venues/{town}/qr-code-g', 'VenueController@qrCode')->name('venues.pdf');

public function qrCode($town) 
{
    $qrCode = QrCode::size(500)
        ->format('png')
        ->generate('ItSolutionStuff.com', public_path('images/qrcode.png'));

    return view('qrCode');
}

which is it?

You want it to be in the /pdf route, but not...

Do you mean you want it in the controller but in a separate route?
