1:- Controller Using Artisan Command
Use the following command to create simple and resource controller in laravel 8 app.
Create a Simple Controller
Use the following artisan command to create simple controller in laravel:
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller BOOKController |
The above command will create a simple controller file inside app/http/controllers directory. When you open newly created controller file it will look like:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class BOOKController extends Controller { } |
Create a Resource Controller
Use the following artisan command to create resource controller in laravel:
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller CRUDController --resource |
The above command will create a resource controller file inside app/http/controllers directory. When you open newly created resource controller file it will look like:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class BOOKController extends Controller { /** * Display a listing of the resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function index() { } /** * Show the form for creating a new resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function create() { } /** * Store a newly created resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function store(Request $request) { } /** * Display the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function show(Book $book) { } /** * Show the form for editing the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function edit(Book $book) { } /** * Update the specified resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function update(Request $request, Book $book) { } /** * Remove the specified resource from storage. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function destroy(Book $book) { } } |
The resource controller contains by default index (), create (), edit (), update (), destroy () method inside it.
Create a Resource Controller with Model
Use the following artisan command to create a resource controller with model file in laravel:
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller BOOKController --resource --model=book |
The above command will create resource controller along with a model file. The controller file has located inside app/http/controllers directory. And Model file is located inside app/Models directory.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; Use App\Models\Book; class BOOKController extends Controller { /** * Display a listing of the resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function index() { } /** * Show the form for creating a new resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function create() { } /** * Store a newly created resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function store(Request $request) { } /** * Display the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function show(Book $book) { } /** * Show the form for editing the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function edit(Book $book) { } /** * Update the specified resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function update(Request $request, Book $book) { } /** * Remove the specified resource from storage. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function destroy(Book $book) { } } |
If you open Model file, you will look like:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class Crud extends Model { use HasFactory; } |
2:- Routes
Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
Create Simple Routes
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController; Route::get('books',['as'=>'books.index','uses'=>'BOOKController@index']); Route::post('books/create',['as'=>'books.store','uses'=>'BOOKController@store']); Route::get('books/edit/{id}',['as'=>'books.edit','uses'=>'BOOKController@edit']); Route::patch('books/{id}',['as'=>'books.update','uses'=>'BOOKController@update']); Route::delete('books/{id}',['as'=>'books.destroy','uses'=>'BOOKController@destroy']); Route::get('books/{id}',['as'=>'books.view','uses'=>'BOOKController@view']); |
Create Resource Routes
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\CRUDController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which | contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great! | */ Route::resource('crud', CRUDController::class); |
Then open terminal and run the following command on it:
|
1 |
php artisan route:list |
The following command will display resource routes methods:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
+--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ | Domain | Method | URI | Name | Action | Middleware | +--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ | | GET|HEAD | api/user | | Closure | api,auth:api | | | GET|HEAD | books | books.index | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@index | web | | | POST | books | books.store | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@store | web | | | GET|HEAD | books/create | books.create | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@create | web | | | GET|HEAD | books/{book} | books.show | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@show | web | | | PUT|PATCH | books/{book} | books.update | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@update | web | | | DELETE | books/{book} | books.destroy | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@destroy | web | | | GET|HEAD | books/{book}/edit | books.edit | App\Http\Controllers\BOOKController@edit | web | +--------+-----------+-------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ |
3:- API Controller and Routes
Create Resource Controller
Use the following artisan command to create a API resource controller:
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller API\BOOKController- resource |
The above command will create a simple controller file inside app/http/controllers/API directory. When you open newly created resource controller file it will look like:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\API; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class BOOKController extends Controller { /** * Display a listing of the resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function index() { } /** * Show the form for creating a new resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function create() { } /** * Store a newly created resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function store(Request $request) { } /** * Display the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function show(Book $book) { } /** * Show the form for editing the specified resource. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function edit(Book $book) { } /** * Update the specified resource in storage. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function update(Request $request, Book $book) { } /** * Remove the specified resource from storage. * * @param \App\Book $book * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function destroy(Book $book) { } } |
Define Resource API Route
Lets open “routes/api.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/api.php
|
1 2 3 |
use App\Http\Controllers\API\BOOKController; Route::resource('book', [BOOKController::class]); |
