Laravel : How to call controller index function using routes

In Laravel  Let's go with the example using controller name is Product

//controller path

<project_name>/app/Http/Controllers/<controller_name.php>

Example product controller

//controller path

<project_name>/app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php

2. Create view  in views create like a example product

//view path

<project_name>/resources/views/<view_name>.blade.php

Example product view

//view path

<project_name>/resources/views/product.blade.php

3. Add Path to the routes file web.php

Edit web.php

//route file name
<project_name>/routes/web.php

Add this content to web.php

//here 

Route::get('/<name_controller>', '<controller_name>@index');

Example Product view explain to this how it work with the example

here, we can use any name in the url to call like http://127.0.0.1:8000/product or we can give name anyother like http://127.0.0.1:8000/Products   also, with replace name in route file also.

Route::get('/product', 'ProductController@index'); 

4. Example Product Add this code to the controller  use as you created your controller name here we created ProductController.php

//controller path
<project_name>/app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php

<?php



namespace App\Http\Controllers;



use Illuminate\Http\Request;



class ProductController extends Controller

{



    /**

     * Show the application dashboard.

     *

     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable

     */

    public function index()

    {

        return view('product');

    }

}

5. Add this code to view in Views  use as you created your view name here we created product.blade.php

//view path
<project_name>/resources/views/product.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')



@section('content')

        <div class="col-md-8">

            <div class="card">

                <div class="card-header">Product</div>



                <div class="card-body">
