Routes

[low schooner]

Hey everyone! Im new in webdev so don't understand loads of things.
I have main.blade.php page that I want to be as my index page. Everything seems fine but now I don't understand how I can redirect to it. {{ route('main') }} seems wrong.

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('main');
});

Thank you in advance! 🙂

The route('main') function is trying to find a route named main in your routes file, so you should edit your route as shown below.

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('main');
})->name('main');

Alternatively you can use url('/') to specify a route without a name..

FYI you can also do Route::view('/', 'main')->name('main')

thats the same?

[gleaming hinge]

yeah just a shorter way of writing it

[low schooner]

Its been there by default I though its important to have that one there 😄

[gleaming hinge]

both are perfectly fine

[low schooner]

cuz rest is short ye

[gleaming hinge]

if your following some sort of tutorial best to stick with it the same

[gleaming hinge]

No those other ones are not the same

Those are defining methods on the controller to use, not returning a view directly

Personally, I am not a fan of the Route::controller(..) method but you do you 👍

so far idk about other ways 😄 will see in future
