Laravel Controller Subfolder routing

Question

I\'m new to Laravel. To try and keep my app organized I would like to put my controllers into subfolders of the controller folder.

controllers\\
---- folder1         


        

Answer 1

1.create your subfolder just like followings:

app
----controllers
--------admin
--------home

2.configure your code in app/routes.php

<?php
// index
Route::get('/', 'Home\HomeController@index');

// admin/test
Route::group(
    array('prefix' => 'admin'), 
    function() {
        Route::get('test', 'Admin\IndexController@index');
    }
);
?>

3.write sth in app/controllers/admin/IndexController.php, eg:

<?php
namespace Admin;

class IndexController extends \BaseController {

    public function index()
    {
        return "admin.home";
    }
}
?>

4.access your site,eg：localhost/admin/test you'll see "admin.home" on the page

ps: Please ignore my poor English

Answer 2

I think to keep controllers for Admin and Front in separate folders, the namespace will work well.

Please look on the below Laravel directory structure, that works fine for me.

app
--Http
----Controllers
------Admin
--------DashboardController.php
------Front
--------HomeController.php

The routes in "routes/web.php" file would be as below

/* All the Front-end controllers routes will work under Front namespace */

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Front'], function () {
    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
});

And for Admin section, it will look like

/* All the admin routes will go under Admin namespace */
/* All the admin routes will required authentication, 
   so an middleware auth also applied in admin namespace */

Route::group(['namespace' => 'Admin'], function () {
    Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function() {            
        Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'DashboardController@index']);                                   
    });
});

Hope this helps!!
