Laravel Artisan How To Make Controller

Do you need to make a new controller in Laravel ? It is very simple, just run this command:

php artisan make:controller MyCustomController

And that’s it ! This will create an empty controller in directory app/Http/Controllers with no methods…

But I need more methods

That is why you can make a resource controller, a controller who has all required methods to process your logic and your data, like: store, update, create, index, delete, ecc… Just run this command:

php artisan make:controller MyCustomController -r

This will make a controller in app/Http/Controllers with all required methods, like this:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MyCustomController extends Controller
{
 /**
 * Display a listing of the resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function index()
 {
 //
 }
/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function create()
 {
 //
 }
/**
 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
 *
 * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function store(Request $request)
 {
 
 }
/**
 * Display the specified resource.
 *
 * @param int $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function show($id)
 {
 //
 }
/**
 * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
 *
 * @param int $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function edit($id)
 {
 //
 }
/**
 * Update the specified resource in storage.
 *
 * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
 * @param int $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function update(Request $request, $id)
 {
 //
 }
/**
 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
 *
 * @param int $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
 public function destroy($id)
 {
 //
 }
}

Now you have your controller! Just write your logic in it. But wait…

It Doesn’t Work ?

Yes because you have to add the routes manually to web.php or wherever you need it… so you will need to write things like:

Route::get(‘/mycontroller’…
