Laravel route resolving to a different method - php

Question

I'm trying to set up a basic Laravel CRUD application, and I'm getting stuck setting up the pages for each action.
When I visit the route case/create, it opens the page for show instead.
routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\HospitalCase as HospitalCase;
Route::controller(HospitalCase::class)->group(function() {
Route::get('/cases','index')->middleware('auth')->name('cases');
Route::get('/case/{id}','show')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/case/create','create')->middleware('auth');
Route::post('/case/create','store')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/case/edit/{$id}','edit')->middleware('auth');
Route::post('/case/edit/{$id}','update')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/case/delete/{$id}','destroy')->middleware('auth');
});
HospitalCase.php controller
class HospitalCase extends Controller
{
function index()
{
echo 'index';
}
function create()
{
echo 'create';
}
function show($id)
{
echo 'show';
}
function store()
{
// validation rules
}
function edit($id)
{
return view('case/edit');
}
function update($id)
{
}
function destroy($id)
{
}
}
This is what I see on the browser:
I have been trying to figure this out for hours and can't think of what I'm doing wrong.
PS: The auth middleware is using laravel breeze (unmodified)

Answer 1

The reason it's showing the show route is because you defined
Route::get('/case/{id}','show')->middleware('auth');
before it, therefore, it's matching case/create as show('create')
Try defining the route afterwards.
Route::get('/case/create','create')->middleware('auth');
Route::post('/case/create','store')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/case/{id}','show')->middleware('auth');

Answer 2

Just want to reiterate what #TimLewis has suggested, I think you need to put this route:
Route::get('/case/create','create')->middleware('auth');
Above this route:
Route::get('/case/{id}','show')->middleware('auth');
But you could try using Laravel’s route resource so you don’t need to write out all the routes -
use App\Http\Controllers\HospitalCaseController;
Route::resource('case', HospitalCaseController::class);
