Great article Graham,

there is room for improvement in your code. So instead of

php artisan make:controller PagesController
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

you could use the invokable flag so you don't use the index

php artisan make:controller PagesController --invokable
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and then use this route:

Route::get('/{any?}', App\Http\Controllers\PagesController::class);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it tells Laravel routing to respond to any route provided or nothing with the question mark "?" and responds with an invokable controller

//
    public function __invoke()
    {
        return view('welcome');
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Great tutorial my friend.

Hi, I got an error with this code, because Laravel on the RouteServiceProvider, while reading web.php to get our Route, it has already set up the namespace for us.

So, for this code at web.php:

Route::get('/{any?}', App\Http\Controllers\PagesController::class);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

need change to:

Route::get('/{any?}', 'PagesController');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Thank you for the invoke parameters information.
