As vs Prefix (Laravel Route)

When we work with a route group, we often find two terms - 'prefix' and 'as'. What's the difference between these two terms? Well, Prefix uses in URL and As is used in name route.

For example, if we write...

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function(){
Route::get('/index',[DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('index');
});

the Url works like this:

Route::get('/admin/index',[DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('index');

But when we use As,such as...
Route::group(['as' => 'admin'], function(){
Route::get('/index',[DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('index');
});

This will be work like..

Route::get('/index',[DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('admin.index');

Thanks. Happy coding.
