Run function from Button or URL in Laravel

Question

I have the following test function, that I want to call directly from my URL or by clicking a link from my blade view.

public function callMeDirectlyFromUrl(         


        

Answer 1

Here is the solution:

We assume you have a function callMeDirectlyFromUrl in YourController, here how you can call the function directly from URL, Hyperlink or Button.

Create Route

Route::get('/pagelink', 'YourController@callMeDirectlyFromUrl');

Add link in the view blade php file

<a href="{{action('YourController@callMeDirectlyFromUrl')}}">Link name/Embedded Button</a>

This has been tested on Laravel 4.2 -> 5.2 so far.

By clicking on this link or call the URL www.somedomain.com/pagelink the function will executed directly.
