you should show your Controller methods ;-)
method name comes after the @
UsersController@storeCustomer
so storeCustomer would be the method in UsersController here.

useful routing in Laravel
hey guys,
I am Working on my first Laravel project and I am also new to routing and controllers at all.
Well, at the beginning I had a UsersController withe the functions create, store, update and so on and in http/requests/ a UserRequest. All users were by default customers. Then I had to do the same for users that were employees. First I used the same store and update function for both of them and put a lot if-Conditions in those functions for almost any input.
What I actually had to do is creating customerRequest and EmployeeRequest instead of one UserRequest and having in my Userscontrollers the functions StoreCustomer and StoreEmployee instead of just store.
I tried adding this line to the routes: Route::post('users/{user}', 'UsersController@storeCustomer');
and I get, when submitting : BadMethodCallException Method [store] does not exist.
But how do I tell laravel which function it has to take?
Level 1
Route::get('/', function () {
return redirect('/users');
});
Route::get('/users/{user}/password', 'UsersController@password');
Route::get('/users/{user}/delete', 'UsersController@delete');
Route::get('/users/{user}/new-password', 'UsersController@createPassword');
Route::post('/users/{user}/new-password', 'UsersController@updatePassword');
Route::get('/users/create/customer', 'UsersController@createCustomer');
Route::get('/users/create/employee', 'UsersController@createEmployee');
Route::resource('/users', 'UsersController');
// added now
Route::post('users/{user}', 'UsersController@storeCustomer');

I'd definitely suggest watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF0jFKvS4SI

You should watch your route definitions, there is a hirachie and you are overriding your routes.
You should watch this video, It's a bit advanced, but you will get an idea of routes structure and the hirachie: https://streamacon.com/video/laracon-us-2017/day-1-adam-wathan
I liked this video so much, because you will have the best structure in controllers. You need at least 2 new Controller in your example, to get rid of those problems you have now, with that approach.

Will watch both videos at home. right now it's not possible. another question to the controllers: in my DB I still have only one users Table with a column type that can have values 'customer' and 'employee'
It is still possible, if I have two controllers?
Level 2
yes it is possible. but consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization
