I'm trying to set a route to my "MessagesController" so that a i can access it from my form, How do i set a route to the controller and access it from action form ?
This is my Form code
<form action="#" id="ajax-contact" method="GET" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
{{csrf_field()}}
<div class="input-field">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="nom" required
placeholder="Nom">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" id="email" required
placeholder="E-mail">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<textarea class="form-control" name="message" id="message" required
placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Soumettre</button>
</form>
What should i write inside my web.php to set a route so i can acces my MessageController.php what should i write inside the action attribute ?

Okay not sure what you want but here is the whole thing
REQUEST(FORM) => ROUTE => CONTROLLER => RESPONSE
So you want to go from FORM to Controller you have to :
Create a controller (in App\Http\Controllers) and a method
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class MyController extends Controller
{
// This method will handle the form
// $request is where the form data will be
public function handleForm(Request $request){
// this means dump all form values
dd($request->all());
}
}
Create a route ( In simple words, this will link between FORM & Controller method ) in web.php
// The request need to be POST to /handle-data
Route::post('handle-data','MyController#handleForm');
finally this should be your form
<form action="/handle-data" id="ajax-contact" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
{{csrf_field()}}
<div class="input-field">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="nom" required
placeholder="Nom">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" id="email" required
placeholder="E-mail">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<textarea class="form-control" name="message" id="message" required
placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Soumettre</button>
</form>
If you want to make this as an ajax call
$( "#ajax-contact" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var data = $(this).serializeArray();
$.post('/handle-data', data ).then(function(response){
console.log(response);
});
});
if you want to test the ajax way, change the dd($request->all()); to return response()->json($request->all());
That should be it :)

Edit routes inside web.php to point to submit method in MessagesController:
Route::post('submit', 'MessagesController#submit')->name('submit');
then set form action to:
<form action="{{ route('submit') }}" id="ajax-contact" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
You should POST from a form.
