Sending different data from different method on same route - laravel 8 - laravel

Question

I am trying to get order data in order tab and profile details data in profile tab.
Is it possible to achieve ???
If Yes, then please tell me how ?
If No, then please tell me, laravel is the most advance framework of PHP, why we can't send multiple data from multiple methods in same View ?
Controller
public function GetOrders()
{
$gtord = DB::table('orders')->where('email',Session::get('email'))->get();
return view('/my-account')->with('gtord',$gtord);
}
public function ProfileEdit()
{
$data = DB::table('customers')->where('email',Session::get('email'))->first();
return view('/my-account')->with('data',$data);
}
Routes
Route::get('/my-account', 'App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#ProfileEd');
Route::get('/my-account', 'App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#GetOrders');
Thank you in advance

Answer 1

You can't have multiple routes with the same 'signature', ie method and url.
If you're just showing/hiding tabs using JS, what you can do is return the view with two variables, eg:
public function AccountView()
{
$data = DB::table('customers')->where('email',Session::get('email'))->first();
$gtord = DB::table('orders')->where('email',Session::get('email'))->get();
return view('/my-account')->with(['data' => $data, 'gtord' => $gtord]);
}
And then just use one route:
Route::get('/my-account', 'App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#AccountView');
If the two tabs are different urls, or you're using Vue or similar you would have two distinct routes with different signatures.

Answer 2

First, you can't have 2 same routes with the same method. It's quite logical and necessary. Otherwise, the whole routing system would collapse.
On the other hand, you can have a function in the controller, and call the other functions to collect data.
// web.php
Route::get('/my-account', 'App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController#index');
// controller
public function index()
{
$orders = $this->getOrders();
$profile = $this->getProfiles();
return view('yourView', compact(['orders', 'profile']));
}
public function getOrders()
{
//
}
public function getProfiles()
{
//
}
BTW, it's a better practice to move custom function to models, services or traits, and keep only the functions of 7 verbs in the contoller.
