How could I define a route without the use of any controllers, possibly in 1 line? I've tried several ways like using
Route::view('/hello', 'hello');
or
Route::view('/hello', 'hello', function () {return view('pages.hello'); });
Documentation says I may use the view helper in my routes, 1st parameter should be the URI and second the name of it, but I don't understand as I can't make it work, am not returning any files so I get a 404.
This is how you would use a Closure
Route::get('/hello', fn () => view('pages.hello'));
//or
Route::get('/hello', function () {
return view('pages.hello')
});
But, this should also work:
Route::view('/hello', 'pages.hello');
is your view file called hello.blade.php or is it in a folder????
this works. Route::view('/hello', 'hello'); provided your hello blade is in the root of the views folder AND there isn't a route in the file before it that captures 'hello' as a parameter
@Snapey nah, but i am doing some exercises for a "roadmap" and there are like 12 tasks to do, i have been stuck on this basic routing for probably an hour!!! the route for this view is actually "resources.views.pages.about"
@warpig in that case:
Route::view('/hello', 'pages.about');
@tykus yea, just tried that and it does not work.
@warpig what is on the pages/about.blade.php template?
@tykus well
<x-app-layout>
<x-slot name="header">
<h2 class="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 leading-tight">
{{ __('About') }}
</h2>
</x-slot>
<div class="py-12">
<div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
<div class="bg-white overflow-hidden shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg">
<div class="p-6 bg-white border-b border-gray-200">

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</x-app-layout>
@warpig so nothing that might become a 404 response; anything in the AppLayout?
What URL are you visiting; is this Route nested?
@tykus not to my knowledge, http://127.0.0.1:8000/about this blade doesn't have anything but those blade components of slot and header, this was all that was given:
// Task 3: point the GET URL "/about" to the view
// resources/views/pages/about.blade.php - without any controller
// Also, assign the route name "about"
// Put one code line here below
Route::view('/about', 'pages.about')->name('about'); <!-- my input.....

@warpig this? https://github.com/LaravelDaily/Test-Laravel-Routes
Are you completing all of the tasks before running the tests? Looks like there a navigation links that require a dashboard route but that task comes later...
You can easily debug this stuff yourself - it is an essential skill for development - just dump() the TestResponse in the Test Example.
@tykus yep!! that's the one -_- well I am not sure about any tests, did I missed reading the instructions ? since that route comes later .... should i register then ??
okay will do @tykus thanks for the support
@tykus when you have something like this and then run php artisan test ..... where is the dump at??? because i can't see it
public function test_about_page_is_loaded()
{
$response = $this->get('/about');
$response->assertViewIs('pages.about');
$response->dump();
}
@warpig you can dump the contents of the response like this:
public function test_about_page_is_loaded()
{
$response = $this->get('/about')->dump();
$response->assertViewIs('pages.about');
}
Read through the dumped HTML to find the reason for the failure.
do you have your site hosted correctly or do you see /public in your url?
if so /about will be pointing to the wrong place
