1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:08,050
We have seen so far how Laravel implements
restful routing and

2
00:00:08,050 --> 00:00:12,300
resourceful controllers to provide
powerful access to our data.

3
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:15,370
Even more impressive is how we can take
this one step further

4
00:00:15,370 --> 00:00:18,510
by nesting our routes, as well as the
related controllers,

5
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:21,100
to cleanly grow our application.

6
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,930
This is where we'll complete the first
stage of our journey into Laravel.

7
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:29,720
So next up, we're going to need to do more
routes and more controllers.

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,780
So another route for editing our tasks, or

9
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:37,810
editing our items, destroying those items,
creating new items.

10
00:00:37,810 --> 00:00:40,680
So all of the things that we've done
before, with the actual To Do lists,

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,840
we're gonna need to do the same thing with
the To Do items.

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,020
Now, the way we're gonna need to do this,
and

13
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:51,670
stay restful, is to use nested restful
routes.

14
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:54,180
Laravel makes this very easy for us.

15
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:57,644
Let's do a quick review of the rest that
we have so

16
00:00:57,644 --> 00:01:01,090
far by looking at our artisan routes
command.

17
00:01:01,090 --> 00:01:03,220
So let's switch back over to our terminal.

18
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:07,400
Head to our actual sites, Laravel project.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,320
And then we're gonna run PHP, artisan, and
then routes.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,825
Let's make this output a little bit
smaller here and

21
00:01:17,825 --> 00:01:20,800
then that way it should be a little easier
to read.

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,520
So here we have our normal rest that we
have for our to-do lists.

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,340
So you see we've got our create, we've got
our store, show, edit, update and destroy.

24
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:32,170
This is great.

25
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:33,290
This is exactly what we need.

26
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:34,780
We still have one for DB.

27
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:38,480
Let's actually go ahead and get rid of
that route just to clear up any confusion.

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,250
So in our routes, here's DB, I'm gonna
eliminate this.

29
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:43,380
We don't need it.

30
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,874
We actually don't need these two anymore.

31
00:01:45,874 --> 00:01:49,670
We'll leave the listener in there for now
cuz we will need it later.

32
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:53,530
Okay.
So now let's add some new routes in

33
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:57,100
by doing the same thing here for TodoList
Controller, but

34
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:01,630
we're gonna do todo item, so we're just
gonna actually call this items.

35
00:02:03,595 --> 00:02:06,605
And then we'll do to do item controller.

36
00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:10,365
Which we don't have that yet but

37
00:02:10,365 --> 00:02:12,945
don't worry we're just looking at the
routes for now.

38
00:02:12,945 --> 00:02:15,995
So we go back and we run the same command
again,

39
00:02:15,995 --> 00:02:20,074
you'll see we have a whole new slew of
commands that are instead of to dos and

40
00:02:20,074 --> 00:02:24,122
.destroy, it' items.destroy or
items.index.

41
00:02:24,122 --> 00:02:25,535
Items.create.

42
00:02:25,535 --> 00:02:26,870
So these are great.

43
00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:28,910
We won't need all of these and

44
00:02:28,910 --> 00:02:33,700
we actually need them to be nested inside
of our to-do lists.

45
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:38,100
So the result that we're looking for here
in the nested routes is we wanna be able

46
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:46,170
to say todo/1/items/2, like the second
item here.

47
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:48,300
And then maybe edit.

48
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,520
So that's one of the routes,and that's how
we would keep it restful.

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,640
So let's do that through Laravel routing,
using nested routes.

50
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:01,340
Switch back over to your routes, and
instead of saying route, resource,

51
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:06,524
items, let's go ahead and say route,
resource, todo.items.

52
00:03:06,524 --> 00:03:11,354
So to-dos, same as before, to-dos.items.

53
00:03:11,354 --> 00:03:14,310
And then it's going to be item controller.

54
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:16,710
So save that, and

55
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:21,910
we'll go back and run our artisan routes
again and see what it looks like now.

56
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:22,860
So, let's take a look.

57
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:26,230
At the one that we were using as an
example which is our edit.

58
00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:30,560
So, here we're using a GET, it'll be
/todos, the to do list ID,

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,390
it'll be /items, and then the item ID and
/edit.

60
00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:40,480
And now, our route instead of saying items
edit, says todos.items.edit, but yet it's

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,330
still going to the to do item controller
which is exactly what we want it to do.

62
00:03:45,330 --> 00:03:49,070
Which is separating our item controller
from our list controller.

63
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:51,780
For sure we can eliminate some of these
actions.

64
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:55,910
We don't need to look at a list of all of
the items

65
00:03:55,910 --> 00:04:01,160
separately using the to do item controller
because that's actually being done on the.

66
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Todos, and then showing all of them.

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,110
So it's gonna show the list, which will
show the title, and

68
00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:11,920
then we're using our nested routes or
related routes to show all of our items.

69
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,840
So let's go ahead and try to eliminate
that now.

70
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,760
And we can do it from within the actual
route file.

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,550
So when we're doing resource and then
passing through our arguments.

72
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:24,880
We have our named route, or what we're
calling our routes.

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,840
And then we have our controller.

74
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,320
We can pass through another argument.

75
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,490
Which is going to be an array of options
and it will be for us, accept.

76
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:37,380
So here we're gonna say accept a
particular route.

77
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:38,170
Accept index.

78
00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:43,560
We might want more but this particular
argument actually needs to see an array.

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,580
Of actions that we don't need.

80
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:50,290
So here, we're passing through accep and
then array, but it only has one item for

81
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,930
now, which is index.

82
00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:53,300
So we'll save that.

83
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:59,440
We'll switch back over to our artisan
here, and run the routes again.

84
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,760
So, now we don't have an index action.

85
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,230
Another one that we're not gonna need is
to show the individual action itself.

86
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:10,550
We definitely wanna destroy an item, we
definitely wanna update an item.

87
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:12,300
We certainly would like to edit an item.

88
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,450
Do we wanna show an item?

89
00:05:14,450 --> 00:05:15,080
No.

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,210
Do we wanna store?

91
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:16,740
Yes.

92
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:17,800
Do we wanna create?

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,710
Absolutely.

94
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:21,320
So the only one that's still there, that
is extra or

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,820
unneeded, would be our show action.

96
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:26,160
So simply go back over to your routes
page, and

97
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000
add a comma and then another option here,
which would be show.

98
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:32,540
Refresh our routes again.

99
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:33,400
Make sure eliminated it.

100
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:35,230
And it did.

101
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:35,730
Great.
