Fairly new to laravel 8 with some experience with laravel 7. I'm trying to add some additional pages to the default dashboard nav menu. however after adding the code, as I expect it to be, I get this error:

Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException
Route [accounts.index] not defined. (View: /home/some/path/resources/views/navigation-menu.blade.php) 

So here is what I have done code wise: in web.php i have the following route:

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])
    ->get('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])
   ->name('accounts');

I have a controller /app/Http/Controllers/AccountController.php as follows:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Account;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;

class AccountController extends Controller
{
    //
    public function index() {
        $accounts = Account::all();

        return View::make('pages.accounts.index')->with('accounts', $accounts);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return View::make('pages.accounts.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function store()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function update($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }
}

I have a Model /app/Models/Account.php:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Eloquent;

class Account extends Eloquent
{

}

I also have blade templates for this page which i wont list for brevity as don't think this matters with the issue and at this point if I navigate to {url}/accounts the accounts index page is shown as intended.

However now I want to move this functionality into the jetstream dashboard so I can cut down on some development time and theme it similar to the default laravel concept.

The first thing I need is to add a new nav item next to Dashboard so I amended the default navigation-menu.blade.php file (/resources/views/navigation-menu.blade.php) by copying what it uses for dashboard and updating:

...
                <!-- Navigation Links -->
                <div class="hidden space-x-8 sm:-my-px sm:ml-10 sm:flex">
                    <x-jet-nav-link href="{{ route('dashboard') }}" :active="request()->routeIs('dashboard')">
                        {{ __('Dashboard') }}
                    </x-jet-nav-link>
                </div>
                <div class="hidden space-x-8 sm:-my-px sm:ml-10 sm:flex">
                    <x-jet-nav-link href="{{ route('accounts.index') }}" :active="request()->routeIs('accounts.index')">
                        {{ __('Accounts') }}
                    </x-jet-nav-link>
                </div>
            </div>
...

It is at this point when reloading the page throws the error. Anyone know what is causing this? I initially tried without using .index as this is the default anyway right?

I have also tried to follow a few tuts on doing this but I get the same error when i reload my page after editing the navigation-manu.blade.php file so I'm at a loss. I'm developing this on ubuntu 20.04

thanks

*** EDIT *** I have updated my route to be a resource for better use moving forward.

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])
    ->resource('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])
    ->name('accounts.index');

Tested this without the amend in navigation-menu.blade.php and all still worked added back the amends and same error.

CodePudding user response：

you need to call your route using it's name.

in your definition you are define the route with the name accounts while you are calling a route named by accounts.index

replace your route

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])
    ->get('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])
    ->name('accounts');

By

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])
    ->get('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])
    ->name('accounts.index');
           // note this

CodePudding user response：

Your route name is accounts and you called accounts.index, it will not work, you have two possibilities to fix them.

1. replace :

   Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])->get('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])->name('accounts')

by :

Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])
        ->get('/accounts', [AccountController::class, 'index'])
        ->name('accounts.index')

2. You can also use resources as method :

    Route::middleware(['auth:sanctum', 'verified'])->resource('/accounts', AccountController::class)->only(['index', 'create','store',update]);
