NotFoundHttpException Laravel - laravel

Question

I am very new in learning Laravel. I want to fetch data from a database and show it. I can do it. But I want to use the title (fetched from the database) as a link. but then I get a NotFoundHttpException.
Routes
Route::get('articles', 'ArticleController#index');
Route::get('articles/{id}', 'ArticleController#show');
Controller
class ArticleController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$articles = Article::all();
return view('articles.index', compact('articles'));
}
public function show($id){
$article = Article::find($id);
return view('articles.show', compact('article'));
}
}
View
#extends('new_welcome')
#section('content')
<h1>Articles</h1>
#foreach($articles as $article)
<article>
<h2>
{{$article->title}}
</h2>
<div class="body">{{ $article->body}}</div>
</article>
#endforeach
#stop
Can someone help me in this case?

Answer 1

Your problem is because of You've "eat" one curly brace (blade engine skips it):
was:
href="{url ('/articles',$article->id)}"
have to be:
href="{{url ('/articles',$article->id)}}"
as You said:
if I click on any single article title then it can not show me the
specific article. But, if I give the URL "homestead.app/articles/2";
so You can see that when You click on link Your browser's address bar becomes:
homestead.app/{url ('/articles',$article->id)}
Because You're beginner so I'll give You advice to not to set direct url in views using url() helper.
Named routes are better if You want to have app that will work properly if in future You decide to change url from: articles to artcls. In this named routes will save You from bulk changing urls in view files.
set name to Your route using 'as' directive that makes Your routing flexible for changes (when You need to change URL so You change only path and keep views unchanged):
Route::get('articles/{id}', ['as' => 'article', 'uses' => 'ArticleController#show']);
Route::get('articles', ['as' => 'articles', 'uses' => 'ArticleController#index']);
change Your view file (find route helper in href):
#extends('new_welcome')
#section('content')
<h1> Articles </h1>
#foreach($articles as $article)
<article>
<h2>
{{$article->title}}
</h2>
<div class="body">{{ $article->body}}</div>
</article>
#endforeach
#stop
