Laravel Router Helper Function: get

get($uri, $action)

The get function is a shortcut to registering a route with the router that responds to the GET HTTP verb. The $uri is the URI of the route, such as / or login. The $action is what will be executed by the router when the route is eventually matched. The $action can be a Closure or a mapping to a controller method. Other advanced options exist, but are discussed in more detail in the Routing chapter.

The return value of the get function will be an instance \Illuminate\Routing\Route.

1<?php
2
3// Registering a route with a Closure.
4get('/', function() {
5    return view('welcome'):
6});
7
8// Registering a route mapped to a controller method.
9get('/', 'TestController@sayHello');

The following would produce the same results, but using the Route façade:

1<?php
2
3// Registering a route with a Closure.
4Route::get('/', function() {
5    return view('welcome'):
6});
7
8// Registering a route mapped to a controller method.
9Route::get('/', 'TestController@sayHello');

The same results can also be accomplished by resolving the router from the application container:

1<?php
2
3// Registering a route with a Closure.
4app('router')->get('/', function() {
5    return view('welcome'):
6});
7
8// Registering a route mapped to a controller method.
9app('router')->get('/', 'TestController@sayHello');
