Laravel 5.5 Crud Routing - php

Question

I am new to Laravel 5.5 and I am trying to create a CRUD. Right now I am experiencing a views error. I am not sure where I went wrong. If someone point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried a few different attempts at resolving this issue such as changing my routes to Uppercase L instead of lower case l for leads to have it follow the directory casing but no avail.
My error
Route [leads.create] not defined. (View: .../resources/views/leads/index.blade.php)
Error's source coming from my index.blade.php file
<div class="pull-right">
<div class="btn-group"> <a href="{{ route('leads.create') }}" class="btn btn-info" >Add New</a> </div>
</div>
My Tree
views
|-- leads
| |-- create.blade.php
| |-- edit.blade.php
| |-- index.blade.php
| `-- show.blade.php
My Web.php
// Leads
Route::resource('Leads','LeadsController');
Route::get('leads/index', function () { return view('Leads.index'); });
Route::get('leads/create', function () { return view('Leads.create'); });
My Controller
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Leads;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class LeadsController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$videos = Leads::orderBy('id','DESC')->paginate(5);
return view('leads.index',compact('leads'));
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
return view('leads.create');
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'first_name' => 'required',
'primary_phone' => 'required',
]);
Leads::create($request->all());
return redirect()->route('leads.index')
->with('success','Lead created successfully');
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
$leads = Leads::find($id);
return view('leads.show',compact('leads'));
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit($id)
{
$leads = Leads::find($id);
return view('leads.edit',compact('leads'));
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'first_name' => 'required',
'primary_phone' => 'required',
]);
Leads::find($id)->update($request->all());
return redirect()->route('leads.index')
->with('success','Lead updated successfully');
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy($id)
{
Leads::find($id)->delete();
return redirect()->route('leads.index')
->with('success','Lead deleted successfully');
}
}

Answer 1

You could use url() to go to a url link.
<div class="pull-right">
<div class="btn-group"> <a href="{{ url('leads/create') }}" class="btn btn-info" >Add New</a> </div>
</div>
Or you could use named route
Route::get('leads/create', function () {
return view('Leads.create');
})->name('leads.create');

Create Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Contact;
use Hash;
class ContactController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
$search = $request->get('search');
$field = $request->get('field') != '' ? $request->get('field') : 'first_name';
$sort = $request->get('sort') != '' ? $request->get('sort') : 'asc';
$contacts = new Contact();
$contacts = $contacts->where('first_name', 'like', '%' . $search . '%')
->orderBy($field, $sort)
->paginate(10)
->withPath('?search=' . $search . '&field=' . $field . '&sort=' . $sort);
return view('contacts.index', compact('contacts'))
->with('i', ($request->input('page', 1) - 1) * 10);
}
public function create()
{
return view('contacts.create');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'first_name'=>'required|min:3|max:50',
'last_name'=>'required|min:3|max:50',
'email'=>'required|email|unique:contacts',
'phone' => 'required|numeric|phone',
'password' =>'required|min:3|max:20',
'confirm_password' =>'required|min:3|max:20|same:password'
]);
$contact = new Contact([
'first_name' => $request->get('first_name'),
'last_name' => $request->get('last_name'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'job_title' => $request->get('job_title'),
'city' => $request->get('city'),
'country' => $request->get('country'),
'phone' => $request->get('phone'),
'password' => $request->get('password')
]);
$contact->save();
return redirect('/contacts/index')->with('success', 'Contact saved!');
}
public function edit($id)
{
$contact = Contact::find($id);
//print_r($contact);exit;
return view('contacts.edit', compact('contact'));
}
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$request->validate([
'first_name'=>'required|min:3|max:50',
'last_name'=>'required|min:3|max:50',
'email'=>'required|email',
'city' => 'required'
]);
$contact = Contact::find($id);
$contact->first_name = $request->get('first_name');
$contact->last_name = $request->get('last_name');
$contact->email = $request->get('email');
$contact->job_title = $request->get('job_title');
$contact->city = $request->get('city');
$contact->country = $request->get('country');
$contact->phone = $request->get('phone');
$contact->password = $request->get('password');
$contact->save();
return redirect('/contacts/index')->with('success', 'Contact updated!');
}
public function delete($id)
{
$contact = Contact::find($id);
$contact->delete();
return redirect('/contacts/index')->with('success', 'Contact deleted!');
}
}
Create Model
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Contact extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'first_name',
'last_name',
'email',
'city',
'country',
'job_title',
'phone',
'password'
];
public function setPasswordAttribute($password)
{
$this->attributes['password'] = bcrypt($password);
}
}
Create routes in web.php
Route::get('contacts/index', 'ContactController#index');
Route::get('contacts/create', 'ContactController#create');
Route::post('contacts/store', 'ContactController#store');
Route::get('contacts/edit/{id}', 'ContactController#edit');
Route::post('contacts/update/{id}', 'ContactController#update');
Route::post('contacts/delete/{id}','ContactController#delete');
Route::post('contacts/index', 'ContactController#index');
