Laravel Route, ->name method? - laravel

Laravel 5.5
which is the different doing (no get and post methods) on route defintion web.php file:
$this->get('login', 'Auth\LoginController#showLoginForm')->name('login');
$this->post('login', 'Auth\LoginController#login');
regarding ->name('') method
Is required define that method? in which cases?
(sample taked from Auth Class definition laravel)

The idea of defining ->name() in routes is for easier code maintenance in the future, it's not mandatory.
Say for example you have few places which uses the route login, one fine day you update the route to user-login. You will have to find and update all the route being used, changing from url('login') to url('user-login').
If you have a route name defined, you will be using route('login'), when you update your route url, there's no need to update all the other files that you're using that route.

Laravel 8 custom routes return 404 while using resource

The API endpoint /clients/entries returns a 404 error while using the route setup.
Route::apiResource('clients', ClientController::class);
Route::get('clients/entries', [ClientController::class , 'getAll']);
The endpoint only works when they are rearranged, so the resource route is at the end.
Route::get('clients/entries', [ClientController::class , 'getAll']);
Route::apiResource('clients', ClientController::class);
Why does this issue occur? And is it fine to have the resource route at the end?
A full explanation can be found at https://stackoverflow.com/a/62952620/9004987 (thanks to #Espresso).
Summary:
When the resource route is registered at the beginning it will create some routes. Example:
GET /clients/{client} show clients.show
And when other custom routes (such as /clients/entries) are registered after the resource route then it will conflict with the resource URI (since it has the same pattern).
Solution:
Define the custom routes before the resource route.
Firs:
You need to direct requests from Routes/web.php to API
Route::get('/{any}', [App\Http\Controllers\ClientController::class, 'index'])->where('any','.*');
Requests from routes/api.php need to be answered

Route [x] not defined when using auth middleware

I am making a website with laravel but i am getting an error while using middleware auth. it says Route[x] not defined.
i am using laravel 5.8 please some one help me
The route you have written that has no named route so you need to specify name for that route like this
Route::get('x', function() {
//
})->name('x')->middleware('auth');
for more information you can check here https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/urls#urls-for-named-routes

Exclude conditional routes in Laravel

I'm building and application in Laravel and Vuejs where I'm having Laravel routes as below:
Route::get('/admin/{view?}', 'HomeController#admin')->where('view', '(.*)')->name('admin');
Route::get('/{view?}', 'HomeController#home')->where('view', '(.*)')->where('view', '!=', 'admin')->name('home');
I'm using Vue-router so I'm having routing in vuejs, and I'm using history mode. The problem is when I try to call /admin it generally calls HomeController#home method. even if I go deeper like /admin/dashboard it is calling the same home method. I want if admin prefix is being called then it should call HomeController#admin method.
its all okay for me please check this
Route::get('/admin/{view?}', function (){
dd('okay');
})->where('view', '(.*)')->name('admin');
Route::get('/{view?}', function(){
dd('okay1');
})->where('view', '(.*)')->name('home');
So try this
Route::get('/admin/{view?}', 'HomeController#admin')->where('view', '(.*)')->name('admin');
Route::get('/{view?}', 'HomeController#home')->where('view', '(.*)')->name('home');

Laravel Route Is not working because of Generic route

I am new to Laravel and learning just basic stuff. I am trying to create a new Route to create a user into database. So I created a Route like this -
Route::get('users/"create"', 'PagesController#create');
But I also have one Route for users trying to access their profile-
Route::get('users/{username}', 'PagesController#show');
Now when I try to access users/create it redirect me to show method instead of create method in controller. I am guessing this is because of generic nature of users/{username}. So my question is how to deal with such situation.
The order that you define routes is important. If you define your routes like this - in this order, it will work.
Route::get('users/create', 'PagesController#create');
Route::get('users/{username}', 'PagesController#show');
Note - I noticed you used 'users/"create"' - that is an error - it should be 'users/create' like in my example.
p.s. make sure you dont allow a user with the username called 'create' - or they will never be able to get to their profile page.

Laravel 4 - changing resource root routing path

In a Laravel 4 installation, Using Jeffrey Way's Laravel 4 Generators, I set up a 'tweet' resource, using the scaffolding command from his example:
php artisan generate:scaffold tweet --fields="author:string, body:text"
This generated the model, view, controller, migration and routing information for the tweet type. After migrating the database, visiting http://localhost:8000/tweets works fine, and shows the expected content.
The contents of the routes.php file at this point is:
Route::resource('tweets', 'TweetsController');
Now I would like to move the url for tweets up one level into admin/tweets, so the above url should become: http://localhost:8000/admin/tweets. Please note that I am not treating 'Admin' as a resource, but instead just want to add it for hypothetical organizational purposes.
Changing the routes.php file to:
Route::resource('admin/tweets', 'TweetsController');
Does not work, and displays the following error:
Unable to generate a URL for the named route "tweets.create" as such route does not exist.
Similarly when using the following:
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin'), function() {
Route::resource('tweets', 'TweetsController');
});
As was suggested in this stackoverflow question.
Using php artisan routes reveals that the named routes also now have admin prefixed to them, turning tweets.create into admin.tweets.create.
Why is the error saying that it cannot find tweets.create? shouldn't that automatically be resolved (judging by the routes table), to use admin.tweets.create?
How can I change my routing so that this error no longer occurs?
I just tested with new resource controller and it works fine for me.
The problem is not with the Route, its with the named routes used in your application.
check your view files there are link to route like link_to_route('tweets.create', 'Add new tweet'), this is creating the error because when you add admin as prefix tweets.create doesn't exists so change it to admin.tweets.create every where, in your controller also where ever named route is used.
