How to get a route to directly show a view?
October 26, 2018
If you have a simple controller method that is just:
<?php
public function about_me() {
return view('static.about_me');
}
Then you can do the following in your routes file:
<?php
Route::view('/about','static.about_me');
This makes it a bit quicker to code. Sometimes it is common to end up with a bunch of functions (in a controller named something like StaticPagesController) that don't do anything apart from return a view. Using the Route::view
method in your routes file means you can skip making that function.
