Route

You can generate a route by running the following command.

php artisan better:route blog v1 --api

INFO

Generated route will be at routes/api/v1/blogs.php. The route name is pluralized and kebab-cased (blog becomes blogs) and the version or directory is lower-cased.

Arguments

• route — name of the generated route file. It must not contain / or \; put the file in a subdirectory with versionOrDirectory instead
• versionOrDirectory (optional) — version or subdirectory where the route file will be generated

Options

• --api — generated route file will be stored in routes/api instead of routes/web. See more at:
  • Configuration
  • BetterLaravelServiceProvider.php
  • RouteMakeCommand.php
• --force — overwrites an existing file at the same path

The command exits with 1 when the file already exists and --force was not given. When better-laravel.enable_routes is disabled, the command still generates the file but warns that it will not be loaded.

Generated file

The generated file groups its routes under the {versionOrDirectory}/{route} prefix ({route} alone without a version or directory) and returns the package's welcome view. Files under routes/api also get the api_routes_prefix (api by default), so the example above answers on /api/v1/blogs.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::group(['prefix' => 'v1/blogs'], function () {

    Route::get('/', function () {
        return view('better-laravel::welcome');
    });

});

Calling a controller action

use App\Modules\BlogModule\Http\Controllers\BlogController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::group(['prefix' => 'v1/blogs'], function () {
    Route::post('/', [BlogController::class, 'store']);
});
