Laravel named route for resource controller

Question

Using Laravel 4.2, is it possible to assign a name to a resource controller route? My route is defined as follows:

Route::resource(\'faq\', \'ProductFaqCont         


        

Answer 1

For answer seekers with Laravel 5.5+ finding this page:

Route::namespace('Admin')->prefix('admin')->name('admin.')->group(function () {

    Route::resource('users','UserController');

});

These options will result in the following for the Resource:

• namespace() sets Controller namespace to \Admin\UserController

• prefix() sets request URi to /admin/users

• name() sets route name accessor to route('admin.users.index')

In name() the DOT is intended, it is not a typo.

Please let others know if this works in comments for any versions prior to Laravel 5.5, I will update my answer.

Update:

I can confirm that in Laravel 5.3 that the name method is not available. No confirmation yet if supported in 5.4

Taylor accepted my PR to officially document this in 5.5:
