Function() does not exist error using php Laravel controllers and router-CodePudding

I have a router web.php and two controllers. One is HomeController with my index/homepage, and the other is InventoryController with a randomly generated database. I am currently getting an error when I run it on localhost that there is a "Reflection Exception and that the Function() does no exist".

My router web.php:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', [\App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class], 'pages.index');

Route::get('/inventories', [\App\Http\Controllers\InventoryController::class], 'index');
{
    return View('pages.inventories');
};

My HomeController code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

/**
 *
 */
class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        return view('pages.index');
    }
}

My InventoryController code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Inventory;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

/**
 *
 */

class InventoryController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        $inventories = Inventory::all();
        return view('pages.inventories',[
            "inventories" => $inventories
        ]);
    }
}

I know I do not want to use __invoke() because future features and content will be added.

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

Route::get('/inventories', [\App\Http\Controllers\InventoryController::class, 'index']);

and also the second parameter should be massive In the controller name method name is index and not pages.index

CodePudding user response：

You misused your router definition, you need to define the second parameter of the array, to be the function on the controller it should hit.

Route::get('/', [\App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('pages.index');
Route::get('/inventories', [\App\Http\Controllers\InventoryController::class, 'index'])->name('index'');

It seems like you also use the third parameter as naming eg. pages.index i would use the ->name() call instead.

CodePudding user response：

You can write like this,

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', [ 
    \App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 
    'pages.index' 
]);
