Laravel redirecting to the wrong route-CodePudding

web.php

 Route::get('/gigs/{id}', [GigsController::class, 'info'])->name('clientside.gigs_info');

Route::get('/gigs/create', [GigsController::class, 'create'])->name('clientside.gigs.create');

Controller

public function create()
{
    $categories = Category::select('id', 'name')->get();

    return view('clientview.gigs.create', compact('categories'));
}


public function info($id)
{


    $gig = Gigs::join('users', 'users.id', '=', 'gigs.created_by')
        ->join('categories', 'categories.id', '=', 'gigs.category_id')
        ->select('gigs.*', 'categories.name as category_name', 'users.name as user_name', 'users.surname')
        ->where('gigs.id', '=', $id)
        ->orderBy('name', 'ASC')
        ->firstOrFail();

    return view('clientview.gigs.info', compact('gig'));
}

When I try to click this:

<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('clientside.gigs.create') }}">Create Gigs</a>

When I click this I can observe from DebugBar that it directs to route ('clientside.gigs_info') I think "/create" thinks it is an /{ID} but however, I direct to a different route

Answer by Michael Mano, Make sure you write on web.php static routes before dynamic.

CodePudding user response：

Just write create route before info route because it is dynamic route (That accept parameter) so always write dynamic route after the static route.

CodePudding user response：

You actually created a dynamic route gigs/{id} so anything that comes after gigs will be called as a parameter of gigs. So to fix this change the order in your web.php like below. So it will search for static route first and then go for dynamic route.

Route::get('/gigs/create', [GigsController::class, 'create'])->name('clientside.gigs.create'); Route::get('/gigs/{id}', [GigsController::class, 'info'])->name('clientside.gigs_info');
