bind a route to a method (controller) in laravel7

Question

I cannot bind the "contact" route to the "contact" method which is existing in the "TestController.php" controller

Answer 1

You don't need to include the file extension when you define routes, so your route should be:

Route::get('/contact','TestController@contact');

Then make sure you have a controller with that name in your controller directory:

app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function contact()
    {
        // your code
    }
}

You can see a working demo here.

Answer 2

I usually find running php artisan route:clear will solve these issues sometimes.

Answer 3

Run Command php artisan optimize will solve issue
