Routing to Nested files in controllers

posted 10 years ago

Switching from Codeigniter, it was a breeze to do this in. I'm having trouble routing to nested controllers. It's letting me know the class doesn't exist. Here's my route

// These are my routes for the MDPay interface (Separate from the portal)
Route::resource('mdpay', 'mdpay/LoginController@index');

Here is my Controller embedded in the mdpay folder in controllers

 class LoginController extends BaseController {

/**
 * Display a listing of the resource.
 *
 * @return Response
 */
public function index()
{
    $data['title'] = 'MDPay : ';
    return View::make('mdpay/start', array('title'=>$data['title']) );
}
}

When using the route I'm getting this error:

ReflectionException Class mdpay/LoginController does not exist

I'm confused as to how I'm routing wrong. This was working fully until I decided to nest the path under the mdpay folder in the controllers. :(

In your composer.json file, you can see the

'autoload' : { 
    'classmap' : { 
          ... 
}

section, add your path to the directory of your controller, then type:

./composer.phar dump-autoload

I looks like:

Route::resource('mdpay', 'LoginController');

should work.

You can then run:

php artisan routes

to see what's going on.

If you want a route prefix you could:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'dirname'], function()
{
    Route::resource('mdpay', 'LoginController');
});

Solution

Thanks, this helped out, but I found the fix after coming back from lunch. I was calling the entire path when all I needed to call was the library. So, the full solution instead of mdpay/LoginController@index, it was simply just LoginController@index.

I saw this after I posted. This is exactly what needed to happen to work. Thanks :)
