On what basics we give url and name in laravel route file - php

Question

You may find me stupid but i am unable to understand on what basics we give url and name in our route file
Example:
Route::get('/order/getOrders', 'OrderController#getOrders')-
>name('order.getOrders')->middleware('auth');
can anyone please tell me.
and if we take url on the basics of where our file in view folder like( order->getorder blade file)
Then what if my path is layouts.site.topbar
In view instead of pages, my file is in layouts.
EDIT:
blade file
<a href="{{ route('sync.index') }}">
#if(isset($syncs))
#foreach ($syncs as $sync)
#endforeach
{{ $sync->session_date }}
#endif
</a>
controller file
class TopbarController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{ die('o');
$syncNames = Sync::select('session_date','session_time')->where('user_id',$user_id)->get();
return view('layouts.site.topbar', array(
'syncs' =>$syncNames
));
}
public function sync_finish_session() {
die('s');
$user_id = Auth::id();
$sync_date = date('M d ',strtotime("now"));
$sync_time = date('M d, Y H:i:s',strtotime("now"));
$sync = Sync::where('user_id',$user_id)->get();
if(count( $sync) > 0) {
Sync::where('user_id',$user_id)->update(['session_date'=>$sync_date,'session_time'=>$sync_time,'user_id'=>$user_id]);
}
else {
$dates = new Sync();
$dates->session_date = $sync_date;
$dates->session_time = $sync_time;
$dates->user_id = $user_id;
$dates->save();
}
return $sync;
}
}
web file
Route::post('/sync_finish_session', 'TopbarController#sync_finish_session')->name('sync_finish_session')->middleware('auth');
Route::get('/sync/index', 'TopbarController#index')->name('sync.index')->middleware('auth');
Now whats the problem its giving nothing even i put die but its not going in controller file.

Answer 1

I think this is more a personal preference thing than that there are rules.
The convention I use is name(<model>.<action>)
This way i can create routes like
Route::get('/users/{id}/view', 'UserController#view')->name('users.specific.view')->middleware('auth');

Answer 2

You just name route as you do want. There is no strict rules how to name route. You can change name('order.getOrders') to name("anyName") and use new name in templates.

Answer 3

As the Laravel documentaton about rounting says:
Named routes allow the convenient generation of URLs or redirects for specific routes.
So, you can use this name to generate URLs or redirects. For example:
You could put this in your web.php file:
Route::get('/image/index', 'API\SettingsController#index')->name('image.index');
And call that route like this in your view:
Le met see that index!
Where the {{ route('image.index') }} references the name you gave to it.

Answer 4

You can name your route(s) anything you want. If you wanted, you could call your above route "mySuperCoolRouteName":
Route::get('/order/getOrders', 'OrderController#getOrders')-
>name('mySuperCoolRouteName')->middleware('auth');
and later in a view file you can use this name as a "shorthand" to get/print the URL of that route:
To My Cool Route
will be rendered to
To My Cool Route
