need help URL relative with blade.php

HI, Tom Cawthorn

I found an article similarly to this. It sounds like you probably want something like:

Route::get('register', function(){
  View::make('registration');
});

then in your <li> tag, you'd use the href of "/register" note that your routes file determines what URLs will work in your application Route::get('register'... is telling Laravel to listen for and route traffic to the url http://yourapp.com/register the view::make('registration') part is telling Laravel to use the view file registration.blade.php

can do surrounded in {{ }} instead of php tags? For example <a href={{ $name }} is that possible?

Laravel goes one step further - if you have routes set up correctly, you shouldn't need to use any a-tags. Here's what I mean:

In your routes file, you can set up something called a 'named route'. It doesn't have to be named, but this means you can easily call routes from your views.

e.g.

Route::get('home', [
    'as' => 'register_path',
    'uses' => 'PagesController@home'
]);

This route will call the home method in the PagesController. You can create/use any controller and method you like here :-) In the method you call, you should return your view.

Then, In your view, you can do:

{{ link_to_route('register_path', 'Link Text Goes Here', null, ['class' => 'btn'] }}

The function link_to_route will output a string of html - you don't have to do any html writing for this link. You can find link_to_route on this page by using cmd F (control on PC).

Having all this set up correctly will enable you to say www.myapp,com/home, will route to the PagesController method where the view 'home' can be returned.

I hope this makes sense, let me know if you need more info!

Do you have more tutorial for that? honestly, I do not understand at all. I have read it five time already. I reviewed myself on video took my note. I understood is blade syntax basic {{ }} is NOT escape html special characters that will pop up executed with window.alert if its very true statement so use {{{ }}} is to prevent pop up.

I am not sure how and where should I put link_to_route like you said. I was thinking will it work if using with my hello.blade.php.

I have not learned related to helper functions. I probably looking for helper functions out there. Do you have any excellent example or tutorials ?

I got mine working what did I put the codes. Is seems fine ? Should I still need to add link_to_routes??? What will you do? app/views/layout.blade.php

<li><a href="register">Register and Login</a></li>
<li><a href="sign-up">Another action</a></li>

app/views/routes.php

Route::get('sign-up', function()
{
  return
   View::make('signup');
});

Route::get('register', function()
{
  return
   View::make('registration');
});

Now you gave me the example app/views/routes.php

Route::get('home', [
    'as' => 'register_path',
    'uses' => 'PagesController@home'
]);

app/views/home.blade.php Is this correct blade???

{{ link_to_route('register_path', 'Link Text Goes Here', null, ['class' => 'btn'] }}

{{link_to_route('route.name', $title, $parameters = array(), $attributes = array())}}

If you're on the laravel beginners course, you can learn more from here to get you started on RESTful routing. I think you'll need this info to use link_to_route :-)
