Common Mistakes

Using the wrong view name causes a 'view not found' error.

Forgetting to return the view from the method.

The view function loads the Blade template named 'welcome'. This is the correct view to return.

Using a different parameter name than the variable returned.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using view instead of redirect causes the method to return a view, not a redirect.

Using route alone without redirect does not perform a redirect.

The redirect helper is used to send the user to another URL or route.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define a controller method that validates a request and stores a new user.

Laravel

public function store(Request $request) {
    $validated = $request->[1]([ 'email' => 'required|email' ]);
    User::[2]($validated);
    return redirect()->route('users.index');
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using save on the model class instead of an instance.

Using check which is not a Laravel method.

The validate method checks the request data. The create method saves a new user with the validated data.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a controller method that updates a user and redirects back with a success message.

Laravel

public function update(Request $request, User $user) {
    $data = $request->[1]([ 'name' => 'required' ]);
    $user->[2]($data);
    return redirect()->[3]('users.show', $user->id)->with('status', 'User updated!');
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using save instead of update on the model instance.

Using redirect()->route incorrectly without parameters.

The validate method checks the data, update changes the user record, and route generates the redirect URL.
