Why won't this route work?
I have a route in Laravel 8.11 that just won't work.
Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index']);
There is a HomeController.php and an index method yet the error says, "Target class [HomeController] does not exist." I disagree. What's up?

Hey Max_m!
Yes, you need the namespacing at the top of your web.php route file. In my case, my controller was called HomeController so the namespace at the top is:
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
The route itself is:
Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index']);
Worked like a charm after that! I hope that helps you!
