Routing

All Laravel routes are defined in your route files, which are located in the routes directory. These files are automatically loaded by the framework.
The routes/web.php file defines routes that are for your web interface.
For most applications, you will begin by defining routes in your routes/web.php file.

Syntax:-

	Route::get(‘URI’, Closure/Callback);
	// Example:-
	Route::get(‘about', function () {
	return 'Hello World';
	});

Routes Parameter

Sometimes you will need to capture segments of the URI within your route. For example, you may need to capture a user’s ID from the URL.

	Syntax:-
	Route::get(‘uri/{p_para}', function ($para) {
	return $para;
	});
	Example:-
	Route::get(‘user/{u_id}', function ($id) {
	return $id;
	});

Routes Multiple Parameter

Note – Route parameters are always encased within {} braces and should consist of alphabetic characters, and may not contain a – character.

	// Example:-
	Route::get(‘post/{post_id}/comment/{comment_id}', function ($post_id, $comment_id) {
	return $post_id . $comment_id;
	});

Optional Routes Parameter

We can make optional parameter by placing a ? Mark after the parameter name.

	//Example:-
	Route::get(‘student/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
	return $name;
	});
	Route::get(‘student/{name?}', function ($name = ‘Amardeep') {
	return $name;
	});

Routes Parameter and Regular Expression

You may constrain the format of your route parameters using the where method on a route instance. The where method accepts the name of the parameter and a regular expression defining how the parameter should be constrained.

	//Syntax:-
	Route::get(‘uri/{p_para}', function ($para) {
	return $para;
	})->where(‘p_para’, ‘Regular Expression’);
	//Example:-
	Route::get(‘product/{p_name}', function ($name) {
	return $name;
	})->where(‘p_name', '[A-Za-z]+');
