Laravel forms - route not defined

I am using laravel to create simple form:

    {{ Form::open(array('route' => 'postrequest')) }}
    {{ Form::text('Name') }}
    {{ Form::text('Surname') }}         
    {{ Form::submit('submit') }}
    {{ Form::close() }}

In my routes.php file is defined route:

Route::post('postrequest', function() 
{   
    return View::make('home');
});

But I'm getting error in log file:

Next exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Route [postrequest] not defined.

I couldnt find solution on internet. What I'm doing wrong?

In case you want to reference a controller method in you route, you have to do something like this:

Route::post('postrequest', ['as' => 'postrequest', 'uses' => 'RequestController@store']);

You try to use here named route. If you want to do so you need to change your route into:

Route::post('postrequest', array('as' => 'postrequest', function() 
{   
    return View::make('home');
}));

or you can of course change the way you open your form using direct url:

{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'postrequest')) }}

But you should really consider using named routes.

Open form with post method 

{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'postrequest', 'method' => 'post')) }}

Since you have written Route for post request.
