Learn how to register a resource controller with the router using the resource function in PHP. Customize the $name, $controller, and $options of the route during construction. Find out how multiple individual routes are created behind the scenes.

The action helper function in Laravel can generate a URL to a controller action. You can specify the controller action using the $name parameter and pass any required parameters using the $parameters parameter. By default, the generated URL will be an absolute URL, but you can specify a relative URL by setting the $absolute parameter to false.

The asset($path, $secure = null) function in Laravel returns a URI composed of the application's URI and the provided $path. You can specify if the URI should have the https:// or http:// schema by setting the optional $secure parameter. The function is useful for generating asset paths based on the application URI. Examples of different asset paths that can be generated are shown in the code snippet.

The elixir helper function in Elixir is used to retrieve the path to a versioned Elixir file. It takes two arguments: the name of the file and the build directory (which is optional and defaults to 'build'). To get the versioned path for a file, you would call the helper function with the file name as the first argument. Optionally, you can also specify the build directory by passing it as the second argument.

The route helper function in Laravel generates URLs for named routes. It takes in the route name, optional parameters, and a flag for generating absolute or relative URLs. You can add additional data to the query string by passing parameters in an array. By default, the route function generates fully qualified URLs, but you can change this behavior by setting the $absolute flag to false.

The secure_asset function in Laravel returns a URI that combines the application's URI with the given path. It always ensures that the resulting URI uses the https:// protocol. It is equivalent to using the asset function with the $secure parameter set to true. However, if the supplied path contains a protocol, that protocol will be used. The same applies if a domain name is supplied to either function - it will be used instead of the current domain in the request.

The secure_url helper function in Laravel generates secure, fully qualified URLs to a given $path. It can also include additional data as query parameters. This function internally returns the value of the url helper function. An example usage is demonstrated, showing how to generate URLs with and without query parameters.

The url helper function in Laravel is used to generate URLs to a given path or return an instance of the UrlGenerator implementation. It can be called without any arguments to return the UrlGenerator instance or with arguments to generate a URL with optional parameters. Secure URLs can also be generated by passing true as an argument.

This article provides a comparison of three Laravel application helper functions: abort, abort_if, and abort_unless. While all three functions can cause the application's execution to stop, abort_if and abort_unless offer more readable and concise code. The article includes examples demonstrating the differences in usage. The choice between the functions depends on personal preference and the semantics of the variable names.

Learn how to use the array_sort function in Laravel, as discussed in our latest blog article. This function internally creates a new instance of the \Illuminate\Support\Collection class and then sorts it using the given callback. However, it is better to use the collection's sortBy method directly instead of creating a new object every time. Check out the article to find out more.

The abort_if helper function in Laravel is used to abort the execution of the application based on a given condition. It throws an exception if the $boolean parameter evaluates to true. This function is commonly used to check for authorization before continuing with the application's execution. An example usage is provided in the code snippet, where the function will abort the execution if the $user object does not have the admin property set to true.

The abort_unless helper function in Laravel is used to check a condition and abort the execution of the application if the condition evaluates to false. It throws an instance of Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException with the specified error code, message, and optional headers. In the provided example, if the value of $user->admin is not true, the code will abort with a 401 error code.

The app function in Laravel gives you access to the Illuminate\Container\Container instance. It is a singleton, which means multiple calls to app() will return the same instance. You can also use app to resolve registered dependencies from the Container instance. For example, to get an instance of the Illuminate\Auth\AuthManager class, you can use app('auth').
