Answer 1

I don't see a get route for your form. Your post route will work only if you submit the form.
So, in your routes.php, there should something like
<?php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/signup', [
'uses' => 'UserController#getSignUp',
'as' => 'signup'
]);
Route::post('/signup', [
'uses' => 'UserController#postSignUp',
'as' => 'signup'
]);
And, in UserController#getSignUp you just load the view of the form.

Answer 2

//your blade file is OK ,you can use same
//you route
Route::get('/signup', function () { //route1 to view form
return view('signUp');
});
Route::post('/signup', [ // route2 to handle form request
'uses' => 'UserController#postSignUp',
'as' => 'signup'
]);
to view your form you have to use get method which is route1 ,after submitting the form your postSignUp method will redirect to get route which is route1.
//your controller
public function postSignUp(Request $request){
$username = $request->username; //to access username
$password = bcrypt($request->password); //to access password
$user = new User();
$user->name = $username;
$user->password = $password;
$user->save();
return redirect()->back();
}
in your blade file you use name filed as username and password for user's username and password respectively.so In user Usercontroller you can directly access them as $request->username and $request->password for User's username and password respectively.
