How to setup home page without requiring auth (Laravel)-CodePudding

I am trying to setup a standard homepage that every user has access to (and lands on), before they are routed to other pages after logging in.

Currently the web.php setup is

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;    
Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'home']->withoutMiddleware(['auth']));

The withoutMiddleware is to try and bypass the requirement of auth when trying to access the home.blade.php page, however I get the following error:

Very new to Laravel, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

CodePudding user response：

Routes don't require authentication unless it's explicitly specified in the routes web.php file or the controller.

So it can be as following:

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;    
Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'home'];

CodePudding user response：

Route::get('/', function () {
    if(Auth::guest()){
        return view('/home');
    }else{
        return redirect('/login');
    }
});
