Getting error in lesson In EPISODE 19 The PHP Practitioner: Forms, Request Types, and Routing

can you post the code ...

maybe you did not defined route for post request

These pages were all changed in the episode or are referenced by another file.

index.php

require Router::load('routes.php')
    ->direct(Request::uri());

bootstrap.php

$app['config'] = require 'config.php';

require 'core/Router.php';
require 'core/Request.php';
require 'core/database/Connection.php';
require 'core/database/QueryBuilder.php';

$app['database'] = new QueryBuilder(
    Connection::make($app['config']['database'])

routes.php

$router->get('about', 'controllers/about.php');
$router->get('about/culture', 'controllers/about-culture.php');
$router->post('names', 'controllers/add-name.php');

var_dump($router->routes);

Router.php

{
    public $routes = [
        'GET' => [],
        'POST' => []
    ];

    public static function load($file)
    {
        $router = new static;

        require $file;

        return $router;
    }

    public function get($uri, $controller)
    {
        $this->routes['GET'][$uri] = $controller;
    }
    
    public function post($uri, $controller)
    {
        $this->routes['POST'][$uri] = $controller;
    }

    public function direct($uri)
    {
        if (array_key_exists($uri, $this->routes)) {
            return $this->routes[$uri];
        }
        throw new Exception($this->routes[$uri]);
    }

    public static function uri()
    {
        return trim(
            parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH), '/'
        );
    }

index.view.php

<h1>Submit Your Name</h1>

<form method="POST" action="/names">
    <input name="name"></input>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<?php require('partials/footer.php'); ?>

did you try to complete the video because after jeffrey add requesType to direct method

I did try that before I posted and got what I thought was the same result. I just finished the video for the 2nd time and now the index page works, but when I use the form I get a similar error except now it is Router->direct('names', 'POST') instead of Router->direct(''). I'm going to review my code again and see if I can figure it out. Should I re-post my code for your review?

I'm frustrated so I'm posting the finished code from the video. So far I'm not seeing what is wrong. index.php

    ->direct(Request::uri(), Request::method());

Have you compared it against what's in the repo for that series? https://github.com/laracasts/The-PHP-Practitioner-Full-Source-Code

I ended up skipping over this lesson and starting again from Episode 20 available from github. https://github.com/laracasts/The-PHP-Practitioner-Episode-20
