Route Not found exception in laravel 5.3 tried resource route and manual route as well

Question

I created a resource BrandController and then made its routes. The problem is that some routes are working and some are not. For example, create route is not working. I have also tried it to declare routes manually but problem is same. I ran command like

php artisan route:clear
php artisan cache:clear

Here are routes

Route::group(['namespace' => 'AppControllers'], function () {


/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| All routes of BrandController are defined here
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
*/
Route::get('brands', 'BrandController@index')->name('brand.index');
Route::get('brand/create', 'BrandController@create')->name('brand.create');
Route::get('brand/edit/{id}', 'BrandController@edit')->name('brand.edit');
Route::delete('brand/delete/{id}', 'BrandController@destroy')->name('brand.destroy');
Route::post('brand/store', 'BrandController@store')->name('brand.store');
Route::post('brand/update/{id}', 'BrandController@update')->name('brand.update');

// Here is resource route
Route::resource('brands', 'BrandController');

});

I have created a simple a tag here it is:

<a href="{{route('brand.create')}}">Add New</a>

Whenever I click on this link it converts / into dotlike this

http://localhost:8080/rms/public/brands.create

It also generated

http://localhost:8080/rms/public/brand/create

But same issue persists. NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection

Controller Code:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\AppControllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\Brand;

class BrandController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        //dd('jgh');
        //$brands = brand::all();
        return view('brands.index');
    }
/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function create()
{
   return redirect('brands.create');
}

/**
 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(BrandRequest $request)
{
    $input          = $request->all();
    $storeBrand     = new Brand();
    $storeBrand->create($input);
    //return redirect->()->back();
}

/**
 * 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)
{
    $editBrand = Brand::findOrFail($id);
    return view('brands.edit',compact('editBrand'));
}

/**
 * Update the specified resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function update(BrandRequest $request, $id)
{
    $updateBrand    = Brand::findOrFail($id);
    $input          = $request->all();
    $updateBrand->update($input);
    return redirect()->back();
}

/**
 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function destroy($id)
{
    $deleteBrand = Brand::findOrFail($id);
    $deleteBrand->delete();
    return redirect()->back();
}

}

Answer 1

Your can use:

public function create() { return redirect()->route('brands.create'); } Or public function create() { return redirect('brands/create'); }

But I am suggesting you use the first one because in that we are using route name in that. if you want to change url them you don't have to worry about this code.

Answer 2

Change your create method like below

public function create()
{
   return redirect('brands/create');
}

. notation not works in redirect method...

Answer 3

Make your resource routes like this

Route::resource('brand', 'BrandController', [
            'names' => [
                'index'=>'brand.list',
                'create'=>'brand.create',
                'store'=>'brand.store',
                'update'=>'brand.update',
                'edit'=>'brand.edit',
                'show'=>'brand.show',
                'destroy'=>'brand.remove',
            ]
        ]);
